Refers to the style developed during the late 10th to the 11th centuries in Angkor. The style is characterized by foliage motifs, scarcity of sculpture in the round, and youthful-looking sculptural figures wearing thin, clinging garments lacking diadems and adorned with crisp, carved jewels and finely incised pleats. The style is evident in monumental sculptures, such as the Khleangs, the Phimeanakas, and Ta Keo, and in relief sculptures on lintels and tympana. Tympana in this style contain rectangular relief panels that illustrate scenes from the lives of Rama and Krishna through vivid portrayals of movement rather than through accurate representation of anatomical details. Hindu-influenced Buddhist sculptures also flourished under this style, featuring hairstyles set in fine braids rather than in snail-shell curls. Bronze productions in this style feature figures with inlaid eyes and eyebrows and a varied subject matter ranging from decorative to sacred.
