This black and white photograph, taken by Dutch photographer Isidore Kinsbergen in 1867, captures the rear view of a 13th-14th century miniature temple in East Java, Indonesia. The "Candi Papoh/Kotes" is a prime example of Javanese temple architecture, showcasing intricate carvings and a multi-tiered structure. This platform temple, with its "kalamukha" ornaments, reflects the artistic mastery of the ancient Javanese civilization. Kinsbergen's photograph provides a glimpse into the architectural grandeur of this historic site.
