IX. - Interior Ornaments of the Temple.<BR> <BR> This subject represents the ornamented pilasters which adorn each side of the inner gateways of the temple. The female figures shewn occur in groups throughout the walls of the entire building. They are nearly life-size, and are known to the natives as the Chao Savan, who are supposed to form the retinue of the deified kings. They are found almost invariably wearing this three-pointed crown; and the same subjects are again found on a smaller scale, as Tewadah (angels), floating in mid-air above some of the bas-relief representations, and sculptured in dancing attitudes on the frieze of the inner galleries.<BR> <BR> in: Album "The antiquities of Cambodia a series of photographs taken on the spot With Letterpress Description By John Thomson, F.R.G.S., F.E.S.L., Edinburgh: Edmonston & Douglas MDCCCLXVII"; opgenomen in KIT Library ILS (RF-279) page 45.
