Replica of Priest-King at Mohnjo daro.
n 1927, a seated male soapstone figure was found in a building with unusually ornamental brickwork and a wall-niche. Though there is no evidence that priests or monarchs ruled Mohenjo-daro, archeologists dubbed this dignified figure a "Priest-King", which is on display in the National Museum of Pakistan.[citation needed] The sculpture is 17.5 centimetres (6.9 in) tall and depicts a bearded man with a fillet[clarification needed] around his head, an armband, and a cloak decorated with trefoil patterns that were originally filled with red pigment. The two ends of the fillet fall along the back. The hair is carefully combed towards the back of the head but no bun is present. The flat back of the head may have held a separately carved bun, or it could have held a more elaborate horn and plumed headdress. Two holes beneath the highly stylized ears suggest that a necklace or other head ornament was attached to the sculpture. The left shoulder is covered with a cloak decorated with trefoil, double circle and single circle designs that were originally filled with red pigment. Drill holes in the center of each circle indicate they were made with a specialized drill and then touched up with a chisel. The eyes are deeply incised and may have held inlay. The upper lip is shaved, and a short combed beard frames the face.

Tlahuicole was a war captain of the Tlaxcala, a tribe who lived adjacent to the Aztec Empire during the middle ages.
Captured by the Aztecs, Tlahuicole repeatedly requested the honour of being sacrificed to the gods, but his legendary battle leadership meant instead that the Aztecs used him as a general in their army.
Finally, the emperor granted his wish and he fought in a gladiator duel against 8 opponents, all of whom were disabled by the Tlaxcalan. However, he was eventually felled by the ninth, and sacrificed to the gods.
The priest awaits the work he will do to honour the gods.

A "Seunim" (Buddhist priest) at Seokguram Temple on Jeju Island, South Korea.
Published as part of my photo essay on Seokguram Temple in this week's edition of the Jeju Weekly.

*********************************************************************************************************
After driving 20 minutes along a steep winding road from Jeju City, I arrived at the parking lot for Seokguram temple. Built in the 1950's, the Buddhist temple is a popular destination for those who want a short hike while still enjoying the natural scenery around Mt. Halla.
As I prepared to go up the 1.5 km trail, I was struck by something odd. There were two piles of bags on the left and the right side of the trailhead. I learned that one pile is for items that have been brought down the mountain and one pile for items that need to be brought up to the temple. Anybody can volunteer their time to help. As if on cue, a man hurried down the trail and dropped off an empty gas tank in front of me.
Cold and barren at the bottom of the trail, things began to look up as I reached the upper areas close to the temple. Three woman just ahead of me were trudging their way to the top, surrounded by beautiful red pines and bathed in golden early morning sunlight. It was a welcome contrast to the patches of snow and remnants of winter a few meters behind me.
A brand new walkway with shiny orange ropes announced my arrival at Seokguram. Nestled in the breast of Halla mountain and surrounded by towering granite walls, it is a stunning location.
As I entered the temple, I was greeted by a friendly woman who introduced herself and led me to the main room. Here I was met by an amazing array of sights, sounds, colors, and aromas: men and woman praying on the floor, colorful fruit and figurines arranged on tables, smoking incense...
At 10 am the Seunim, or priest, arrived at the room to perform her daily prayers. An imposing figure with piercing eyes, closely cropped hair, and an expansive smile, she sat down and immediately started her prayers. For more than two hours she preached, mixing traditional calls for good health and prosperity with modern concerns like passing exams, getting a good job, and success in business. It was an impressive performance.
As she left the room and walked down the hallway, light poured through the open windows and illuminated her. I quickly snapped a photo. A strong portrait of an equally strong willed woman and the highlight of an enlightening day.

It has been a while since I have actively interacted with people in the street. Mostly because I can just snap what I like without needing to converse with them. But this time, I just couldn't bring my self to snap this sweet old priest without asking for his permission. I went up to him and asked him out front, if I could shoot him and upload him to the internet. He said where and I mentioned my Street Photography website URL and he said ok, fine. We talked a bit before I took the shot and apparently he has retired from active duty due to old age. He was such a pleasant person, so kind and so happy, he must have been an inspiration for many people seeking spiritual guidance when he was an active cleric. I am happy I met him.
