Sambor Prei Kuk Style (600-650)
Religion:
Hinduism; Vishnu, Shiva
and Harihara cults.
Sculpture: the statuary presents little evidence of sensuality
or erotism and is rather modest. The statuary is modeled
with great sensibility. Temple decoration is mostly composed
of bas-reliefs.
Architecture: The basis of Khmer architecture is the sanctuary
(prasat). This sanctuary can be found either isolated or
in groups (very often 5 sanctuaries), it is composed of
individual elements such as lintels, columns, pediments
and decorative panels. The temples are sometimes octagonal,
square or retangular.
