Guarding the sacred mountain and NP

This range of kinnaris was guarding the entrance to Preah Monivong Bokor National Park.

Kinnaris have the head, torso, and arms of a woman and the wings, tail and feet of a swan. They are renowned for their dance, song and poetry, and are a traditional symbol of feminine beauty, grace and accomplishment.

In Cambodian they are commonly seen carved into support figurines post-Angkor art and architecture.
