A photograph of a temple roof parapet against a pale blue sky. Three painted stone sculptures sit on the ledge: a central seated male figure with a moustache, wide ornate crown and headdress, gold armlets and a jewelled belt, holding a small round object in one raised hand; flanking him are two white recumbent bulls with blue-and-gold saddle cloths, gold tassels and ornamental collars. No living people are visible. Only the statues are present.
