Serpent-like naga scrollwork curls along the sides, with moss and lichen on the stone. No people are physically present in the scene.2007-07-04July 02 20072007-07-02December 21 20132013-12-21A weathered stone bas-relief carved on a temple wall, showing a dense narrative scene of figures in combat or procession. A mustached warrior figure with a tall crown and bracelets strides forward on the left, flanked by smaller figures and a stylized tree with leafy branches. On the right, a seated or reclining figure wearing an elaborate tall headdress reaches toward a central figure, while another tree and a tall pillar-like form stand beside them. Lower registers show crouching and kneeling figures and decorative relief patterns. The carving is eroded and tan-grey in colour, consistent with Khmer temple sculpture. No living people are present.2007-07-07August 23 20152015-08-23October 15 20082008-10-15June 05 20122012-06-05October 15 20082008-10-15July 02 20072007-07-02February 03 20102010-02-03
