Candi Sukuh - Ek Balam
Winged human figures whose hands are poised in gestures like Hindu/Buddhist mudras. Winged God from Candi Sukuh at Hindu Temple in Java, Indonesia.
Ek Balam - Built atop the base is Ek Balam’s massive main pyramid, reaching a height of 32 m and sporting a huge jaguar mouth with 360 degree dentition. Below the mouth are stucco skulls, while above and to the right sits an amazingly expressive figure. On the right side stand unusual winged human figures (some call them Maya angels), whose hands are poised in gestures looking for all the world like Hindu/Buddhist mudras.
It's enough to make everyone wonder about connections between ancient civilizations ……
