A museum is a place where a lot of historical collections are kept in intact and well-maintained conditions. This is one of the attractions for visitors when visiting a museum. Visitors can gain new knowledge as well as see what the object looks like.

As we know that each museum is about an event that has happened in their country. This was also carried out at the History of Java Museum Yogyakarta, which raised an incident about the origin of the formation of the island of Java and early humans. This is what distinguishes the History of Java Museum Yogyakarta from other museums.

By highlighting the events of the formation of the island of Java, this museum tells the story from beginning to end and is equipped with relics of historical objects. One of these relics is an incense burner with Arabic calligraphy motifs originating during the Islamic Mataram era. It was derived from bronze and was found in Central Java in the 16th century.

There are two types of incense burners with Arabic calligraphy motifs. The striking difference is in its shape; namely, the incense burner is legless and has legs. This incense burner is decorated with Arabic calligraphy, which is an Islamic prayer. The calligraphy writing is the monotheism reading "Laila hailallah muhammada Rasullullah" which means Allah's messenger.
