Description
Prasasti Muarakaman IV stone from early 5th century AD, one of several prasasti from Kutai Martapura kingdom. The kingdom was located in what is today's East Kalimantan (Indonesian part of Borneo).

Photos taken March 2023 in Museum Nasional, Jakarta.

According to Indonesian Wikipedia article https://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prasasti_Yupa#Muarakaman_IV_(D.2d) the text on this one is too worn out to read.

However the English Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y%C5%ABpa#Text have the text deciphered and translated to English. It basically says that this monument is a remembrance of when King Mulavarman given alms of 20000 cows to Brahmins.
