Landscape view of the Dieng Plateau, a high plain in the Dieng volcanic complex in central Java, Indonesia. A series of mountains and hills run along the background, with clusters of huts at their foot, and a Dieng temple is visible in the left-hand foreground. Several figures depicted including one on horseback flying a Dutch flag, and three carrying loads in the right-hand side.
