Summary

Description
English: Also called Ciaruteun inscription, or Ciampea inscription, or Ci-Aurton Java Inscription.

It is a 5th-century Sanskrit inscription on the riverbed of Ciaruteun River near Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. The inscription parallels the king to Hindu god Vishnu. The inscription provides a floruit to the presence of Hinduism in southeast Asia. The inscription is interesting as it combines two scripts, the Sankha Lipi (shell characters) and a regular Lipi, a pattern seen in Udayagiri Caves in Madhya Pradesh, India.

These are photographs of ancient and pre-12th century inscriptions (2D Art). These were made from a personal copy of the following book. Note that PD-Art guidelines apply, since the original creator of this artwork lived many centuries ago. Any rights I have are herewith donated with Wikimedia Creative Commons 4.0 license.
