Beeld van een tempelwachter met in zijn hand een slag instrument bij Candi Panataran. Possibly 1867

Isidore Kinsbergen's 1867 photograph, "Beeld van een tempelwachter met in zijn hand een slag instrument bij Candi Panataran," depicts a stone sculpture of a temple guardian. The guardian is holding a weapon, likely a traditional Indonesian weapon, and stands in front of a brick wall, possibly part of the Candi Panataran temple in East Java. The photograph provides a glimpse into the artistry and symbolism of Indonesian culture, showcasing the intricate details of the guardian's attire and the imposing presence of the sculpture. The image was captured during a period when European photographers like Kinsbergen were actively documenting Southeast Asian art and architecture, making this a significant piece of photographic history.
