| Art | The wall of Dong Duong tower comprises 4 pilasters similar to Hua Lai. However, this is the first time that the narrow flute in the middle of the pilaster is introduced. The floral motif bands are at the side of the pilasters instead of being at the center. The miniature temple decorated the pilaster base is comparable to the pre-Angkorian temple.
This temple is unfinished and the motif at the pilaster is half-finished carved. |
