This black and white photograph, taken by Isidore Kinsbergen in 1867, depicts a bas-relief sculpture on the west side of the Candi Panataran temple in Indonesia. The intricate carvings, possibly dating back to the 14th century, feature a series of scenes, likely depicting Hindu mythology or stories from the Ramayana. The bas-relief is carved into the stone wall of the temple, suggesting it was an important decorative element of the original structure. The photograph provides a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of ancient Indonesia, offering insights into the cultural practices and beliefs of the time.
