A black-and-white archival photograph of a tall, tiered gopuram temple tower rising in the centre, its stacked levels covered with rows of carved figures and sculpted ornament, with small dark openings running up its height. Lower in the frame, a roofed entrance porch stands in front of the tower, with a few small figures and scaffolding-like poles near the base. A paved or sandy open courtyard surrounds it, with low walls and a smaller shrine structure at right. Hills rise faintly behind the tower under a pale sky. No people in the foreground are clearly identifiable beyond a few tiny figures near the porch.
