Makara — História e Análise

Esta besta mítica, juntamente com uma segunda figura semelhante, originalmente flanqueava a entrada principal do Candi Bubrah, o santuário ao sul do complexo budista de Candi Sewu. O tronco deste makara transforma-se gradualmente em um monstro semelhante a um leão, enquanto um homem emerge de sua boca.
