This photograph, taken by Dutch photographer Isidore Kinsbergen in 1867, captures a bas-relief on the pendopo pedestal of the west side of Candi Panataran. The relief depicts a scene with multiple figures, likely relating to Hindu mythology. The intricate carvings demonstrate the skill of Javanese artisans and provide insight into the religious beliefs and artistic practices of the time. The photograph itself is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the state of the temple in the 19th century and the development of photography as a tool for recording cultural heritage.
