Message This is a Cambodian temple rubbing that probably was mounted and framed in Northeastern Thailand or Laos circa the late 1960's or early 1970's. It may have come from a Cambodian ruin in Thailand or one in neighboring Cambodia. The figure is a celestial being called an Apsara, who I beieve is said to pacify tense situations by dancing. I've included a link herewith to earlier relevant forum discussion. As you can see from the photo of this Apsara I bought and had framed in Laos in the early 1970's, the frame shops all worked with the same teak and types of silk matting. Best regards, Bill H.
