Summary
Research on the reliefs of Prambanan Temple reveals that depictions of women's physical beauty are constructed to convey clear narratives, often reflecting societal norms and mystical attractions. Using semiotic-semantic analysis, the study found that nudity in these reliefs, while not necessarily pornographic, could lead to negative interpretations, including potential legal implications due to male attraction and victimization risks. The findings highlight the dual nature of women's physical representation in ancient art—both as a cultural norm and a societal concern.
