The Discovery Of Three New Inscriptions In The District Of Klaten (South Central Java)

The Discovery Of Three New Inscriptions In The District Of Klaten (South Central Java) – In the year 1962, there new inscriptions were found in the district of Klaten. One was copper-plate incised with some letters on it and the other two were of stone. From the first one, I could get only two pieces of the negatives by the size of 4 x 6 cm. According to the man who kept the photographs, the written cooper-plate was found by a villager, while he was working in the field at the foot of mount Merapi in the district of Klaten. On account of the name of the village, which was firstly mentioned in the copper-plate, let us call it the Kaduluran – inscription. The other two stone – inscriptions were found by this writer at the villages Mao and Ngruweng situated abaout some kmnort – east and south – east of Klaten. now both of them are kept safety in the Archaeological Service at Prambanan.

The Kaduluran inscription.

According to the man who gave me the photographs, that copperplate was found by a villager in the village of kluwangan, situated in the district of klaten (Surakarta) Central Java. As explained above. this writer could get only two pieces of the negatives by the size of 4 x 6 cm. And in my opinion, the copper plate is 27 cm long and 12 cm wide. Although the photographs are of a very small size. we can still use them, because this amateur work is not to blurred.
