Title
Unidentified guilded idol in Darwin Chinese Temple
Date
c. 1922
Place
Australia - Northern Territory - Darwin (Palmerston)
Interpretive description

It is difficult to know whether the image held in the State Library of South Australia and that in the Northern Territory Library actually come from the same print. It is possible a very similar photograph was taken on two separate occasions. The SLSA print is darker and the NTL print cropped in an oval shape.
