Isidore Kinsbergen, a Dutch photographer active in the late 19th century, captured a stone lion sculpture at the base of a staircase at the Borobudur temple in this photograph, likely taken between 1873 and 1879. The image showcases the intricate details of the sculpture, including its stylized mane and open mouth with a protruding tongue. This photograph, measuring 300 mm by 240 mm, exemplifies the artistic and architectural beauty of the Borobudur, a 9th-century Mahayana Buddhist temple in Indonesia.
