Description

• This inscription was mentioned in OJO Brandes (1913: 263) under the name Steen van Singasari or Singasari Inscription. It was found in a pond near Kyai Napi'i's langgar/prayer-space around Singosari Temple, East-Java, in 1904. In the same year, it was taken to the National Museum. This inscription was made around 1213, representing the Majapahit Kingdom-style, because it uses a stela-shaped inscription model. This inscription also has special meaning in terms of history, science, education, religion, and culture because it contains the Rakaryan Mapatih Mpu Mada figure or Gajah Mada as historical figures—the high officials of the Majapahit Kingdom.
