Ponggongan Inscription

Ponggongan inscription is an archaeological relic in the form of an ancient stone inscription found in Ponggongan, Pagaruyung, Tanjung Emas, Tanah Datar, West Sumatra, Indonesia. Also known as the Ponggongan I inscription, to distinguish it from other inscriptions discovered at the same site, it is estimated to date from the 13th or 14th century CE, around the reign of King Adityawarman. The inscription remains in situ, located in the middle of a rice field. The inscription is made of tuff stone, and the writing has been badly eroded, making it difficult to read. No comprehensive interpretation of its contents has yet been made, though it is believed to have served as a memorial monument. Since 2010, the Ponggongan inscription has been designated a National Cultural Heritage object with inventory number 04/BCB-TB/A/12/2007 by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Indonesia
