The andesite stone inscription measures 90 centimeters in height and width, featuring text carved in ancient Malay script during the Srivijaya period.
Discovered in 1904 by Controller L.M. Berkhout, the inscription dates to 904 CE and contains proclamations from the Srivijaya kingdom about loyalty to rulers.
