The lintel from the middle Prasat Khao Noi

No evidence related to the establishing history

Sandstone carving

There are two Magaras engraved on both ends facing inward, spitting out four arc circles. It looks like there is a figure riding on top of the Magara and the bottom of the Magara has a base to support it. In the center and crescent areas where the curved patterns meet, there is an oval pattern or a three coin-shaped circle pattern. There are patterns of beads all around the edges of the curved circles. At the edges of the coin-shape circle pattern are both rosary and curled leaf patterns. Inside each coin-shaped circle engraved a deity on a vehicle while at the center within the curved patterns engraved four flower petals. Above the curved pattern, there is an upright leaf pattern and the bottom part of the curve engraved in garland patterns and inside each garland is a wavy leaf; they are the same size. The aforementioned details can be compared to the 7^th Prasat Sombor Prikuk on the south.

This lintel is one of a few examples of Sambor Prei Kuk lintels in Thailand which considered as an early lintel of Khmer Arts. When compiling with other evidences, it reflects that the eastern region of Thailand has had a relationship with Cambodia since before Mueand Pra Nakhon.
