Mag men het zien?
Amsterdam, Nederland
De eigenaar is bekend. Of het vandaag te zien is, zegt het museum niet, en gissen hebben wij niet geleerd.
This figure comes from one of the shrines at Candi Loro Jonggrang, the largest Hindu temple complex in Central Java. The three most important temples in the complex are dedicated to the gods Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma. Although the identity of this male figure is not known, the halo behind his head signifies his divine status. Over his left shoulder is a sacred cord.
