This photograph, taken by Dutch photographer Isidore Kinsbergen in 1867, captures a bas-relief on the northern side of the Candi Panataran temple in Indonesia. The intricate carvings depict a scene from Hindu mythology, with figures and animals, and feature a distinctive decorative border above. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of ancient Java, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship of the temple's builders and the captivating narratives they chose to represent. The photograph provides a valuable record of the temple's state in the mid-19th century, as the temple has undergone restoration since then.
