In this enumeration of the remains of Indo Cam-
bojan group, we hare not taken into consideration (i)
the tiiiga of Vat Pho with its inscription in Sanskrit
and Khmer ( 1317 A. D.), («) other diverse Khmer
inscriptions on the statues preserved in the Museums
of Bangkok and Ayuthia, in the royal Library and cer-
tain pagodas.

THE HINDU SCHOOL OF ART

We now come to the purely Hindu School of Art
in Siam. In the valley of Pachim at Vat Na Prasat
two small fragments of statue have been found. One
is the crowned head of a ndga coming from a statue of
Buddha.

At Muang Phra Rot in the southern exterior is a
rectangular Fosse on which are seen a series of figures
en relief^ namely, of elephants, makara and tigers.
These documents are quite new in the Indo-Chinese
archology1. Outside there are some constructions
which probably were religious edifices. A lihga with
Snanadroni shows it to belong to the Saiva cult.

Following monuments hare been discovered
here :—

(a') Complete statues of Buddha or fragments re-
presenting the Master standing or sitting on a throne.
It is remarkable that this latter attitude is not represen-
ted in the actual Siamese religious statues.

(b) A stele representing Buddha standing bet-
ween two women.
