This is Inscribed piece of sandstone. Its original location is probably Takeo Province, from where it was taken to enter the collection of the National Museum of Cambodia. The inscription on this stone has six lines in Sanskrit and 18 lines in ancient Khmer script of the Angkorian era.

The text begins by praising King Powerman II, who’s holding a ceremony to erect a four-armed female divinity figure, who was likely a consort of Shiva. It also recorded the date and time of the ceremony took place the 5th of January in the year 644 at 9:15 in the morning. The ancient Khmer writing the script in detail the general exchange of rice farm-lands that took place at that time, including the offering made to this female divinity.

This is the first inscribed stone that Georges Sedet, a French archaeologist conservator from 1886 to 1969 studied thoroughly. In 1904, he translated the Sanskrit text on this stone. He would spend another 50 years researching Khmer inscriptions.
