Indonesia: Stone head from the upper levels of Candi Bima, Dieng Plateau, Central Java, 8th century

Candi Bima is a Hindu temple situated on a hill separated from the rest of the Dieng temples. The temple is the largest and tallest building in the Dieng temple complex and its shape is different from temples in Central Java in general. The temple base has a square ground-plan and the facades on each side slightly protrude. The front facade protrudes about 1.5 m, serving as a porch before entering the temple's main chamber. The facades on the other three sides form niches where originally statues or images were stored, currently all the niches are empty.
