It is difficult even to write about this sculpture. Human figure, gods or geometric patterns symbolizing divinity--the craftsmen and the master were at their best. Look at the circle--what compass did they use to get this near perfect 360 degrees?
What tools did they use to etch those small dots or the small pieces of rectangles? What spirit fired them to go into these micro details?
It looks like art is basically 'a great firing of neural network with skill ready at hand'.
While some ceiling delineate natural vegetation such as a banana or a lotus flower, some indeed are forms so recondite that only an initiate can understand.
