Old Priestess and Girl with Offering
|
Artist: |
Dr Arthur Fleischmann

Description: |
A photograph of a Balinese scene. A girl tries to balance a large, intricate offering on her head while an older woman helps her. The artist wrote in his manuscript: "A kind of priestess keeps order in the temples. There is some work to be done every day in the temple for the women who keep the place in order, but there are also all the time - apart from feast days - small offerings to be made, which are placed in the shrines. This offering was brought by Djavan whom we see entering the gate of a small temple with it. An old priestess helps her to lift it from her head. We can see how well the figures of old women are preserved sometimes up to a great age." |
