This Brahman sandstone post originated from the Angkor region, Siem Reap Province. Khmer art experts had determined that it is in the Bayon style of the 12th century, Angkorian period, during the reign of the King Suryavarman II, from the year 1113 to 1150 CE.
This date can be verified due to the presence of several versions of browning stone posts of the Vishnu sect that originated from Prasat Preah Khan monument. Prasat Preah Khan is the correct name but French researchers called it Preah Khan at Kampong Svay, which is currently in Preah Vihear Province. Preah Khan at Kanmpong Svay was formerly in Kompong Thom Province.
The post bears tiny sculptures of Vishnu sitting with one knee raised. This is not the only stone post, identical versions exist with different forms and sizes at difference locations and temples. This stone post is a rounded rectangular shape with bear small divinity figures. The entire post has space for over one thousand figures with some missing.
This type of stone posts also existed in Indian art, where artists sculpted on it a thousand Linga and it was known as the thousand Linga statue.
