EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Khmer Art found in Cambodia's Banteay Srei temple. The image captures the grandeur of the western porch's pediment, specifically depicting a scene from ancient mythology known as "The Battle of Sunda and Upasunda competing for the Celestial nymph Tiottama". This intricate carving, dating back to approximately 967 AD, measures an impressive 2.6 by 1.9 meters. Displayed at the Musee Guimet in Paris, France, this masterpiece is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Cambodia. The level of detail and craftsmanship evident in this artwork is awe-inspiring; every curve and line tells a story that has withstood centuries. The photo itself was expertly captured by ePhoto Josse, who skillfully brings out the vibrant colors and textures present on this historical artifact. It allows viewers to appreciate not only its artistic value but also serves as a window into Cambodian history during the Middle Ages. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of Khmer Art, we are transported back in time to an era where myth and legend intertwined with daily life.
