Focus on Bust of Jayavarman VII and explore the Identification of the « statue-portraits» of King Jayavarman VII.
Four fragmentary statues representing Jayavarman VII  have been found in various places of his Empire, at Angkor, at Preah Khan of Kompong Svay and at Phimai, in Thailand. In these various portraits, though his main traits are very similar, Jayavarman VII appears more or less young, as if these sculptures had been made at different times in his life.  The sculptures from Angkor, found between 1910 and 1931, show him obviously older.
