This is a sandstone made pediment. The work originated from the western gate of the second enclosure at Banteay Srey Temple, Banteay Srey district, Seam Reap Province. It is currently registered into the collection of the National Museum.
Experts concluded it belongs to the Banteay Srey style of the 10th century, Angkorian era, during the rule of King Rajendravarman, from the year 944 to 968 CE. The outer edge of this triangular pediment is adorned with serrated patterns. They are arranged on top of the curved bodies of two Nagas. The Naga heads face different directions, while their mouths appear to be swallowing or spitting out Rahu.
The feature scene is derived from the Mahabharata classic, where Balarama and Krishna, who an avatar of Vishnu, watch Bhima, one of the five Pandava brothers, engaged in a battle with Duryodhana of the Kaurava clan, who had taken over his city.
