History of production-
ArtThe body of the towers at Kuong My is punctuated with 5 pilasters, only 4 of which are visible as the central one is hidden by the central niche. Each pilaster is decorated with the scrolls ended with the flame-like floral motif, typical to My Son A1 style. The flute in the middle of the pilasters penetrates the capital, also typical to My son A1 style. Nevertheless, the style of the arch of the niche is assigned to Dong Duong style.
