Basreliëf in de muur aan de noordzijde van de Borobudur Possibly 1873 - 1879

Isidore Kinsbergen, a Dutch photographer active in the 19th century, captured this detailed photograph of a relief sculpture on the north side of the Borobudur temple in Java, Indonesia. Dating back to possibly 1873-1879, the photograph showcases the intricate carvings, depicting scenes of Buddhist mythology, with figures in various postures and elaborate attire. The Borobudur reliefs are a testament to the artistic and religious traditions of ancient Indonesia, and Kinsbergen’s image serves as a valuable historical document of this magnificent structure.
