Contemporary monastery and pagoda located on the river bank of Angkor Borei.
A seated Buddha statue was removed from the pagoda here and now resides in the Phnom Penh National Museum. According to Nancy Dowling’s study, the statue likely dates to 660-665 AD. The statue was lacquered which, researchers discovered had taken place in four coating phases taking place between the 14th and 19th century, with a synthetic coating in recent times (LY 2021).
