Summary

Description
English: South outer gallery, east wing

Bayon, Angkor Thom

This scene from a naval battle shows Champa soldiers standing in their boat, which is being boarded by the Khmer at photo left. The Cham boat is manned by seated oarsmen, whose heads are just visible above the gunwale, while a steersman directs the vessel from the stern (photo right). Below, drowned victims are entangled in the oars; below that, a jungle scene with animals and hunters, including one hunter who has been treed by his quarry.

According to the conventions of Cambodian art, the jungle below the boat is understood to be surrounding the lake or river on which the ship is floating; "below" in this case means "in front of".
