A multi-colored statue of a fierce, humanoid figure with a monkey-like head and bared fangs stands prominently within a traditional Balinese architectural setting in Batuan, Indonesia. The figure, possibly a deity or guardian, is depicted in a dynamic, squatting pose, clutching a large, dark, club-like mace in its right hand. It features a light cream-colored body, adorned with a golden crown, a green chest adornment, and intricate gold and red patterned loincloths and leg wraps. Its lower legs are painted blue with gold accents, resting on a black and gold base. Above the statue is a ceremonial umbrella (payung) with a decorated, reddish-orange canopy and numerous dangling red tassels. The immediate environment consists of intricately carved grey stone architectural elements, including pillars, cornices, and panels featuring swirling motifs and stylized animal figures, such as a crouching lion-like creature visible on the right. The walls behind these carvings are constructed from reddish-orange brick or textured plaster. Wooden ceiling beams are visible at the top. The scene is illuminated by natural light, casting distinct shadows.
