<![CDATA[The period of history in Indonesia, begins with the existence of writings on stone originating from India, with the Pallava letters, starting from the IV-V century AD. In this article, we limited the observation of terracotta in historical times, since the influence of India, especially Hinduism-Buddhism, until the time of the widespread influence of Islam in Indonesia in the XVI century AD.
