In this book anthropologist Hildred Geertz explores a village temple in Bali. She offers insightful glimpses into what the statues, structures, and designs of Pura Desa Batuan convey to those who worship there, deepening our understanding of how a village community evaluates workmanship and imagery. Following an introduction to the temple and villagers of Batuan, Geertz researches the problematics of the Western concept of "art" as a guiding framework in research.
