Taken by Pietro Ronchetti in 1976, this photograph transports us back to a time when ancient civilizations flourished in Asia. The monumental scale and intricate details of these sculpted heads leave viewers mesmerized. Each head represents a different facet of society, encompassing civilian, military, and religious figures.
