Khmer Stone - Lintel
This is not an original piece removed from a temple - although the style is that of Angkor Wat (1110 - 1180).It was probably the result of a collaboration of restoration craftsmen around the Thai Cambodian border. Age unknown.
An extraordinary accomplishment of craftsmanship. Wonderful detail, deep carving - one piece of stone carved with tremendous skill and attention to form. Classical depiction of Vishnu and a giant Naga with numerous deities.
