A magnificent pair of hand-carved statues in gray natural stone, representing Dvarapala Gupolo, the traditional temple guardians from ancient Java.
Both figures are sculpted in a half-kneeling position, holding a club and with a strong, protective expression typical of temple guardians.
Dimensions per image: 140 × 70 × 50 cm
Total weight: approx. 500 kg
Condition: very good, see photos.
These impressive statues reflect the rich cultural heritage of Central Java, where such guards were traditionally placed at the entrances of sacred sites to keep evil out and protect the spiritual purity within.
A particularly decorative pair, powerful in presence and rich in meaning!
Please note: transport is possible, price depends on location/distance.
