Head of a Naga snake
Seen like this in the Car Temple on the island of Nusa Penida.
According to Balinese mythology, a Brahmin priest named Niratha established the temple and protected it from evil by taking off his sashes and throwing them into the sea. The sashes, says the myth, transformed into sea snakes. To this day they are regarded as the slithering security guards of Pura Paluang Pura Mobil Car temple.
