Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the period associated with the Hoa Lai in the northern end of the plain of Phan Rang from the mid-eighth to the mid-ninth century. Prominent examples of architecture from this period include the temples of Hoa Lai, featuring a kalan, decorated pilasters, numerous arches, prominent overhangs, a brick enclosure, bases decorated with appliqués depicting the buildings in miniature, and Indonesian-Javanese elements, and a temple structure at Mi Son, characterized by octagonal stone colonnettes decorated with three central rings and vertical bands, pilasters with alternating plain and decorated bands, carved foliage, and arches decorated with unvermiculated lines. In sculpture, the period is limited and less innovative, featuring dv'rap'las statues with disc-shaped ear pendants and long hair, carved into the brick frames of doors and false doors, and Javanese-inspired images of Buddha, bodhisattvas, and deities.
