At the Borobudur temple complex in Central Java, there are a number of temples. One of the temple named Mendut. In this temple there is a relief depicting a two-headed bird. The head of the upper head eats a ripe fruit, while the lower head looks limp.


This relief taken from a fable (story of animals) that describes the message about the gap and disregard of the "top" group towards the "bottom." Although the story told by animals characters, it represents the message for humanity.
