Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the subperiod of Mi-son art prevalent during the tenth century. The style of the period is considered representative of Cham art at its most developed and articulate stage, marking the evolution of architectural and sculptural features in the gradual replacement of the Buddhist Dong-duong style with the Shaivist, classical style. Artistic production from this period includes the tympanum depicting Vishnu's incarnation, the Khuong My group featuring free-standing statues, and a cornucopia of animal sculptures featuring bulls, elephants, lions, mythical beasts such as garuas, makaras, and others derived from Indonesian and Thai models.
