The National Museum of Indonesia is an archaeological, historical, ethnological and geographical museum located in central Jakarta. Its broad collections cover all of Indonesia's territory and most of its history. The stelae shown here are inscribed with prashasti (praise in Sanskrit) - a genre of inscriptions composed by poets in praise of their rulers. Most date from the 6th century CE onwards.
Written in the form of poetry or ornate prose, the prashastis stereotypically constructed a genealogy, the ruler's attributes, eulogize victories, piety and typically ended with one or more announcements of generous gifts and rewards he has given. More about prashasti at Wikipedia
