Art | The temple is made of brick and decorated with stucco, typical to Preah Ko style. The body is decorated with the images of female deities which are similar to the pattern at Prasat Preah Ko and Prasat Lolei . The lintel and the colonnette are however made of stone. The lintel is dominated with the Kala face disgorging the garlands ended with Makaras, testifying the Javanese connection. The superstructure composes of the miniature multi-tiered roofs indicating South Indian connection whereas the central portion of the temple is articulated with the multi-angled pattern which is similar to those in Pre-Angkorian period. The combination of the styles is expected in this period as Preah Ko period is the transition between the Pre-Angkorian and Angkorian art. |
