Baju Rantai

The Tamblingan Pura Endek I Lempeng Besar I inscription records the existence of armor makers in Bali.

The contents of the inscription were:...thani anteken ya parmasan ulih juru pande, apan khu tumkap baju besi.

...they are not subject to parmasan fees by the master smiths (juru pande) because they make armor (baju besi).This indicated that the Tamblingan people are not subjected to a parmasan fee by the master smiths because they make baju besi armor.

Gangsa (from sanskrit: kangśa) refers to a kind of copper and lead alloy,[4]: 275  while ranti means chain.

The armor is made by string of iron rings tied together, which makes it similar to knitwork.
