About this work

This black-and-white photo shows two towering stone carvings carved into a temple wall. One figure wears a tall crown with horns and a skirt, holding a staff. The other figure has a round headpiece and a simple kilt, also holding a staff. Small people stand at their feet, giving a sense of scale. The carvings look ancient and weathered, with some damage visible on the figures. The photo itself is old, showing signs of wear and a faded border.
