Here is the testament (photo) to the sacredness of the poetic Stung Sangker by Auguste Pavie in 1881. The photo was somewhere near Bakprea Prektrop. Look at the angel with the krama wrapped down through to her chest closely, a traditional fashion at the time.

Homesick,
2:55 AM, you think like me. I'm still young but I 'm fascinated by ancient things. I wish I could live like the scene of this picture, serene, quiet and peaceful.
