Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: This cave's most celebrated feature is the female kala (notice the earrings), probably representing the witch Rangda, who peers out above the entrance. Her eyes look to the right, a pose not otherwise known in Indonesia, where eyes-ahead or eyes-left is the usual rule.
Rangda's hands are amusingly positioned on either side of her head, as if she is pushing aside the rock to give herself a better view. Her figure was found in damaged condition, and has been heavily restored. She is surrounded by a freely-carved scene of mountains, forests, and clouds, among which some smaller figures are visible. . The statues in front of the cave are not in their original position; they are leftovers from the excavation, moved here for display. |
