Two fragments from a frieze

These panels once formed part of a continuous decorative border (frieze) at the base of a temple. On both fragments human figures are shown walking through a hilly, wooded landscape. It is not known for certain which story they depict, although they are probably scenes from an old Javanese poem. The two squares at upper left represent bird’s-eye views of walled enclosures.
