The oldest known record that concerns wayang is from the 9th century. Around 840 AD an Old Javanese (Kawi) inscriptions called Jaha Inscriptions issued by Maharaja Sri Lokapala form Medang Kingdom in Central Java mentions three sorts of performers: atapukan, aringgit, and abanol. "Aringgit" means Wayang puppet show, "Atapukan" means Mask dance show, and "abanwal" means joke art. "Ringgit" is described in an 11th-century Javanese poem as a leather shadow figure.
