Isidore Kinsbergen, a Dutch photographer known for his documentation of Indonesian architecture, captured this photograph of Candi Panataran in 1867. The image depicts a small, intricately carved temple with a Kala head, a mythical creature with a gaping mouth, above the entrance. The stonework shows signs of weathering and age, reflecting the passage of time and the enduring legacy of this ancient Javanese temple complex. The photograph provides a glimpse into the architectural artistry and historical significance of Candi Panataran, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
