An information plaque, likely in a museum setting, is prominently displayed, tilted slightly upwards. The plaque is dark grey with white text and features an image of an ancient statue. The main subject of the plaque is a "Dwārapāla," described as a "Penjaga pintu" (gatekeeper). An illustration of a Dwārapāla statue is on the left side of the plaque, depicting a fierce-looking, muscular figure holding a weapon. The text provides both Indonesian and English descriptions. The English text explains that Dwārapāla are gatekeepers in the Hindu-Buddhist tradition, statues that protect temples from negative energy. Derived from Sanskrit words *dwāra* (door) and *pāla* (guard), these statues are placed at temple entrances, such as in Singosari and Prambanan temples. With stern expressions and weapons, they symbolize spiritual protection and remind visitors of the importance of maintaining pure intentions before entering a holy place. They are also presented as artistic and spiritual evidence of the ancient people of Nusantara. Additional details on the plaque include the logos for "PEMERINTAH KOTA KEDIRI" (Kediri City Government) and "MUSEUM AIRLANGGA". A "QR CODE" is visible, along with information about the "PERIODE:" (Period) as "Panjalu" and "10-12 M" (10th-12th Century AD). The plaque is mounted on a light-colored metal stand, which rests on a beige or light-tiled floor. The background behind the plaque is out of focus, suggesting an indoor museum environment.
