Two fragments from a frieze. Indonesia, East Java, c 1350-1400. Volcanic stone (andesite). These panels once formed part of a continuous decorative border (frieze) at the base of a temple. On both fragments human figures are shown walking through a hilly, wooded landscape. It is not known for certain which story they depict, although they are probably scenes from an old Javanese poem. The two squares at upper left represent bird's eye views of walled enclosures.
