Apsara

This carving dates back to around the 9th Century AD and is found on the walls of Angkor Wat in Cambodia. The design is called an Apsara and the discolouration is purely natural, the original stone is the dancer depicted on the right.

 

There were many such carvings throughout the complex but I particularly liked this one. You can see why.
