Close-up photograph of a carved granite temple pillar relief showing a standing female figure with a rounded face, heavy jewellery and a large circular ornament or drum-like object held at her side, beside a smaller seated or crouching figure with an upraised arm. A rough twisted rope is tied across the top of the stone. The carving is weathered and the surface is pinkish-brown granite. No living people are visible, and the figures are sculpted reliefs rather than physical people or a depiction of a person.
