Production process

Laterite

Art

It consists of the principle prasat in a square shape located in a center of a laterite wall in a rectangular diagram. The top part of the prasat has already collapsed. There is only one entrance and one exit on the east side. The doors on the other sides are false doors. The entrance and exit door was made into a long room with the porch in the front. The southeastern area of the principle prasat only appears the base of Banalai or repositories for scriptures made of laterite in a rectangular diagram. At the center of the east laterite wall appears an arch door or gopura in a cross-shaped square. Outside the wall on the northeastern side, there is a rectangular pond made of laterite as well.
