| Art | The lintel was damaged and was broken into two pieces and they were carved into images of Magaras facing each other and spitting out curved circles. Inside the curve is plain with no decoration but the edges on the top and bottom of the curve are decorated with rosaries. Under the circle, a garland pattern and the pattern of the garland with triangular leaf pattern inside were carved; the middle bunch of the garland is the largest. The area where each side of the curve converge appears an image of Krut Yut Naga inside a coin-shaped circle. The Krut has a human face and only the face and the body of the Krut are exposed. |
