A weathered stone carving of a monstrous or demonic face, characteristic of Balinese temple art, is depicted centered on a grey stone wall in Batuan, Indonesia. The central figure features wide, circular eyes, a broad nose, and a snarling mouth revealing prominent fangs and teeth. It wears an elaborate, tiered crown adorned with intricate patterns. Stylized wings or ear-like appendages with floral motifs flank the head. Below the head, an ornate necklace-like element transitions into dense, scrolled foliate and curvilinear patterns that radiate outwards and downwards, forming the base of the relief. The entire carving and the surrounding stone are grey, with significant patches of green moss and lichen covering recessed areas, particularly on the crown, around the eyes, and within the decorative elements, indicating outdoor exposure and age. The stone wall itself shows block-like construction and further decorative molding above and below the main relief. No human figures or discernible actions are present.
