All that remain are the feet. At a temple in the #AngkorWat complex, the feet are all that are left of this Statue, just one of the hundreds that have been looted from dozens of temples. Figures are often cut at the ankles making them easier to
transport. This was shot with the light of a #iPhone held by my assistant @elliotstudio on the #SonyA7R2.

AngkorWat is a temple complex in Cambodia and the largest religious
monument in the world. It was originally constructed as a Hindu temple for the Khmer Empire, gradually transforming into a Buddhist temple toward the end of the 12th century. #looting #MuseumOfEgyptianAntiquities
Over one million foreign visitors came to Cambodia last year, with the largest number coming to Angkor Wat.

Cambodia's recent violent history provided an almost ideal opportunity
for plundering. The Communist Khmer Rouge destroyed temples and written records, while the occupying Vietnamese Army, well aware of the value of Angkor art in the West, removed pieces by the truckload.
