Description
.jpg)
The animal depicted in the relief has a convex-shaped back, lined with a series of ornaments reminiscent of the plates of stegosaurian dinosaurs.[1] It is highly likely that these supposed plates are meant to be stylized lotus leaves or petals, which are present not only around the animal depicted but also in nearby reliefs and throughout the temple's artwork, sometimes in a nearly identical manner.[1]
Beyond the superficial resemblance of the plates, the animal shares few similarities with stegosaurs. On the back of its head, it is depicted either with horns (not known from any stegosaur) or large ear flags (which suggests the animal being a mammal).[1]
