Antique Cambodian Silver Box. View Of Angkor Wat. Khmer

The interior lined with wood veneer. Stamped "ARGENT" (= SILVER).

The temple was effectively rediscovered by the French naturalist and explorer Henri Mouhot in 1860, who popularised the site in the West through the publication of travel notes, in which he wrote: “One of these temples, a rival to that of Solomon, and erected by some ancient Michelangelo, might take an honorable place beside our most beautiful buildings. It is grander than anything left to us by Greece or Rome, and presents a sad contrast to the state of barbarism in which the nation is now plunged”.

A replica of Cambodia's Angkor Wat temple was constructed in Paris for the International Exposition of 1931 - please see photo.
