Punishments Of Lying and Adultery

Hall of Justice, Taman Gili
Semarapura, Bali

An adulterer, right, is punished by having his nipples crushed with pincers. On the left, a woman is having her tongue ripped out, as a punishment for lying. The pleasant depictions of the natural world (birds, trees, butterflies) seem out of place in such a horrific setting.
