  • This is a stone carving of a guard figure, located at the Isurumuniya Rock Temple in Sri Lanka. The carving is made of limestone and is dated to the 3rd century BC. It is one of the most famous stone carvings in Sri Lanka and is considered to be a masterpiece of ancient Sinhalese art. The figure is carved in high relief and depicts a young man standing with his right arm raised. He is wearing a short dhoti and has a long, flowing hair. His face is serene and his expression is one of calm determination. The figure is believed to represent a guard or sentinel who was stationed at the entrance to the temple. It is also thought to represent the god Vishnu, who is often depicted as a young man with a sword. The stone carving is in excellent condition and is a valuable reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Sri Lanka.
