A photograph of a long sandstone gallery wall at Angkor Wat covered in deep bas-relief carvings of a procession of figures in rows, with many figures shown in profile with headdresses and legs in stepping poses. The wall stretches diagonally into the distance under a shaded corridor. No people are visible in the scene; the carved figures are relief sculptures only. Lower registers show dense fine carved patterns.
