About this work

This photo shows two giant stone serpent heads. They’re carved into a wall, looking like they’re guarding something. The wall is made of rough stones, and the sky behind them is cloudy. The heads have detailed carvings on their bodies, almost like scales. These heads are part of a famous old temple. The artist took this photo to show how the carvings look up close. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more photos like this.
