 East-facing
brick towers containing unique bas-reliefs of Vishnu and Lakshmi
rendered in brick - the only example of brick bas-reliefs in the Angkor
area. Prasat Kravan was originally constructed by noblemen rather than a
king and has a twin sister in Takeo Province south of Phnom Penh, Prasat
Neang Khmau, which contained paintings rather than bas-reliefs, some of
which still survives. Prasat Kravan was reconstructed by archaeologists
in the early 20th century. Look for modern replacement bricks labeled
"CA.". |
