Sacrifical place with eight ancestor sculptures, some holding a child. Mount Aki0aki, Kuningan district, West Java province, 14th-16th century. Possibly 1863 - 1864

Isidore Kinsbergen's "Sacrifical place with eight ancestor sculptures, some holding a child" (possibly 1863-1864) captures a collection of ancient stone sculptures found in the Kuningan district of West Java, Indonesia. The photograph depicts eight statues, likely representing ancestors, some holding a child. These sculptures, dating back to the 14th-16th century, offer a glimpse into the beliefs and rituals of the region's past. The photograph's black and white tones create a sense of timelessness and solemnity, highlighting the weathered texture of the sculptures against a backdrop of surrounding rocks.
