This stunning print captures the intricate details of the Head of a guardian, dating back to the late 12th century during the Angkorian period in Cambodia. Carved in Bayon style out of sandstone, this piece is a true masterpiece from that era. Displayed at the National Museum of Cambodia in Phnom Penh, this artifact represents the rich cultural heritage and history of the Khmer kingdom. The craftsmanship and artistry involved in creating such sculptures are truly remarkable and serve as a testament to the advanced skills of ancient Cambodian artisans.
