Arca Joko dolog, Buddhist statue in Taman Apsari, Surabaya, Indonesia.

The granite statue measures 166 centimeters in length, 138 centimeters in width, and 105 centimeters in thickness, depicting a figure in meditation position.

Created in 1289, this statue represents King Kertanegara of Singhasari and was discovered in Kandang Gajah village near Trowulan before its relocation to Surabaya.

The base contains the Wurare inscription with 19 Sanskrit verses narrating the division of Java into Janggala and Panjalu territories.

Located in a public park with free entry, the statue stands as an educational resource with information panels explaining its historical context.

In 1817, Dutch authorities attempted to transport the statue to Leiden Museum but left it behind due to insufficient space on their ship.
