    uniE621 Kirttimukha
    In candis (ancient temples) within Java built between the mid-seventh and the fifteenth centuries, a grim face of monster is watching intruders from above the doorway. This face of a monster known as “Kala’s head” in Java, must have originated from Kirutimuka (Skt) found in temples in India. “Kala's head” is a literal translation of “Kepala Kala” of the local language, but let us occasionally call it Kala’s face, because it is generally a thin sculpture in which only the front part of the head or face is carved. branding illustrator graphicdesigner designer kirttimukha kala illustration drawing artwork work art dailyart face mask
