It is undeniable that art statues in Bali are under the influence of art statues in Central Java, the characteristics of gentleness, obesity, etc. As mentioned above, are characteristics of classical sculpture in Central Java.
The influences of Indonesia java international culture in Bali due to displacement Hindu kingdom in Java to Bali. The defeat of Hindu kingdoms in Java made emigration of Hindu kingdoms brought from Java to Bali and indirectly Javanese culture and mixed into Balinese culture. This causes a lot of similarities between Javanese and Balinese culture., for example, there are a lot of words in Balinese language which have the same meaning to Javanese language like, cokor, sampun, dahar, etc.
