Arca Totok Kerot or Recå Thothokkerot IPA: (ʈɔʈɔʔ kərɔt ) is a statue (Jav. ''arcå'' or ''recå'' means "statue") located in Bulusari Village, Pagu District, Kediri Regency, Indonesia; about 2 kilometers north-east of Simpang Lima Gumul. It is made of andesite stone, depicting a giant with a terrifying face. The style is of a dvarapala. Based on the style, it is suggested that it was made in the 10th century. ==Physical Features== The face and other ornaments also suggest that it is a representation of a female ''butå''.〔ogre, demon, or giant〕 This is unusual since most dvarapala statues show male characteristics. Arca Totok Kerot is 3 meters tall. The hair is matted, covering the upper part of the back. A kind of tiara with a glimpse of skull is seen above forehead, covering also the ears. The eyes are protruding, creating a terrifying effect, as if it were angry. Like many other dvarapala statues, it kneels on one knee. The left knee touches the ground while the right knee is erected, on which the right hand is laid. The left hand is missing, so it is unknown if it originally held a ''gådå'' (mace) like other dvarapala statues. All hands and legs are wearing ''binggêl'' (bracelets). The nipples are clearly shown on the breast, another indication that it is female. It wears a necklace of skulls, usually worn by worshippers of Durga or Shiva. A girdle is encircling its waist, on which somekind of skirt is hanging. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arca Totok Kerot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
