Terra cotta elephant with depository Karta Wangingan, Kunigan district, West-Java province, period unknown. Possibly 1863 - 1864

This photograph, taken by Dutch photographer Isidore Kinsbergen in 1863-64, shows a terra cotta elephant sculpture. The elephant, likely of Javanese origin, features intricate carvings and is shown in a natural setting. The image captures the detail of the sculpture's ornamentation and offers a glimpse into the artistic traditions of the region during the mid-19th century. Kinsbergen's work documented the cultural heritage of Java and provides valuable insights into the art and history of Indonesia.
