The posture and attitudes of the hands recall the usual configuration of Indra, the king of the gods, in Khmer art (for this see Boisselier 1966: figs. 36 (c), 37 (a); Charoenwongsa and Diskul 1976: pl.92). But the attribute in the right hand of Indra is a vajra, while that of the figure under review is distinctively a lotus-bud, similar in form to the one held in the left hand. The lotus-throne, nevertheless, underlines the religious significance of the figure and eliminates the possibility of its representing a mere devotee with flower offerings. The attributes consisting of two lotuses appear in the depictions of the Sun God (Surya) and the Moon God (Candra) in the set of Nine Divinities in the art of ancient Cambodia (for example see Boisselier 1965: pl. 48 (3)). The former rides on a horse-drawn chariot, while later is usually enthroned. This image represent an isolated depiction of the Moon God, which is a rare feature in the art of Southeast Asia.
