Religion:
Hinduism, Shiva and linga cults.
Sculpture:
Statuary is almost always on a large scale and conveys
a sense of power and grandeur which overrides anatomical
truth. The statues show dynamic force and movement which
is unexpected in Khmer art.
Architecture:
The "temple-mountain" rises to considerable heights,
with long halls, and almost certainly roofs of timber that
enrich the architectural composition. The construction of
the 30 meter-high pyramid at Koh Ker and extremely sophisticated
bas-reliefs on brick at Prasat Kravan.
Main Monuments:
Group at Koh Ker, Prasat
Kravan. |
