This black-and-white photo shows two robed figures standing near a temple. The temple has a simple, rectangular shape with a sloped roof and a small staircase leading up. Trees with bare branches surround the building, and the ground looks uneven with scattered rocks. One figure stands near a carved stone pillar, while the other leans against a wall. The photo’s grainy, faded look makes it feel like an old snapshot. The temple’s design is plain but solid, with a mix of stone and wood. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more photos like this.
