This is a detailed bas-relief sculpture made of bronze, depicting a scene with a throne and numerous figures. The throne is ornate, with intricate carvings and is draped with fabric. Around the throne, figures are shown in various states of distress or death, some lying on the ground, others appearing to be struggling or falling. The overall composition suggests a scene of chaos, war, or a dramatic event. The background depicts a crowd of smaller figures, possibly observers or victims. The sculpture is mounted on a dark, textured surface, likely stone. This sculpture is located at the Puputan Badung Monument in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia. The monument commemorates the Puputan, a mass ritual suicide carried out by members of the Balinese royal family and their followers in Denpasar in 1906, rather than submit to Dutch colonial forces. The sculpture specifically depicts the final moments of the Balinese resistance against the Dutch invasion. The central throne can be interpreted as the seat of power that was lost, and the surrounding figures represent the defiance and sacrifice of the Balinese people during the Puputan.
