| Description of works | 【Khmer elephants were aristocrats’ vehicles】 This Khmer jar is in the form of an elephant, with its nose and tail gently flowing down the spherical body. The elephant wears a head decoration and has a saddle for human riders mounted around the mouth of the jar. These jars are often found with slaked lime inside, suggesting that they were used for betel chewing, a popular custom widely practiced in Southeast Asia. |
