Close view of weathered stone bas-relief carvings on a temple wall at Angkor Wat, Cambodia. A large serpent body with scaled coils curls across the upper left. Below, rows of carved figures sit and stand on a lotus-like pedestal, some wearing tall headdresses and jewellery, one central figure appears to recline or be carried. Carved decorative bands and foliage frame the panel. No living people are visible; the figures are carved stone sculptures.
