Temple Wall with Palm Trees in the Background

Description: |
In all of Bali, the temple gates are flanked by pairs of 'Raksaka's', club-wielding temple guards carved in soft volcanic stone. Their awesome presence keeps negative influences at bay. Arthur Fleischmann wrote the following about this photograph in his manuscript: "These stone figures, many of which are placed inside the temples around the altars and shrines are sometimes partly coloured and they are usually well cared for. "But sometimes I found in one of the remote temples or in one which was not used any more, neglected stone figures grown over with moss, which gives them an even more grotesque appearance." |
