This is an article originally published in the Journal of Siam Society in 1978 focusing on the architecture and the sculpture during the excavation by the Fine Art Department. The article also studies the image of Avalokiteshvara discovered from the site.

The Thai Fine Arts Department has created a national museum in the town of Ubon Ratchathani, Northeastern Thailand. The collection of the museum contains objects, mostly of local origin.
The museum contains six rooms. The first room is the Geography-Geology room of Ubon Ratchathani Province which shows the maps, mineral resources and gems of the province. The second room is the prehistoric room, displaying implements and pottery found in Ubon province. The third room "Dvaravati room", displaying objects pertaining to the Dvaravati period or those from contemporary epochs. The fourth room "Khmer room", displaying Khmer objects. The fifth room contains Buddha images created by Ubon Ratchathani craftsman. The sixth room displays local tradition and objects.
Though this museum is rather small, it is worthwhile visiting because of the many interesting objects displayed in an orderly manner.

The late Professor Dupont's great book has been warmly welcomed not only by specialists in Southeast Asian art and archaeology throughout the world , but also by many members of the general public in Thailand, among whom the interest in archaeology is steadily growing.
The book is dedicated by the author to his distinguished teacher, Alfred Foucher. A note by Madame Dupont thanks whose who helped to prepare the work for publication after her husband's death. Then, after a short preface by the author, comes the text itself, consisting of 9 chapters (almost 300 pages). Finally there are inventories of the objects discovered in the excavations of Davaravati sites conducted by the author; indexes; bibliography; etc. There are 24 pages of drawings, plans and maps, and 541 photographs. He ends with a briefer summary of the enduring influence of certain other types of Dvaravti image, and of Dvaravati architecture associated with the Theravada.

Prasat Kamphaeng Yai is situated in Amphoe Utumphorn Phisai in the province of Sisaket, northeastern Thailand. It is a Khmer monument. According to one inscription on a doorjamb of an eastern gopara (gate) of the eastern gallery surrounding the monument, it was founded in Hinduism.The inscription is composed of about 35 lines in Khmer language which reports the purchase of pieces of land in 1042 A.D. by Vra Kamraten An Sivadasa and three other dignitaries. These pieces of land were marked and dedicated to the sanctuary of Vrddhesvara (Siva). After listing the names of the slaves dedicated to the sanctuary, the text enumerates the animals and objects given to the former owners, by those who bought the land.

Prasat Phra Viharn is one of the most beautiful ruins of antiquity. Situated at a majestic height on the Dongrek Mountain Range, which marks the frontier between Cambodia and south-east Thailand, it is a Khmer shrine built between the 11th and 13th centuries. A series of sanctuaries and flights of stone stairways leads up the mountain to the temple tower, the centre of the worship of the god Siอa, to whom the shrine was dedicated. The extensive ruins, older than Angkor Wat, are evocatively preserved; roofs and columns have fallen, but the great native stone walls remain, and the massive carvings have been only softened and mellowed by the centuries.

A bronze image was discovered near the southern gate (gopura) of the galleries around Prasat Kampaeng Yai, (Sanctuary of Kampaeng Yai) on 17 May 1989. The statue, standing 184 cm. high (140 cm. for the body, 10 cm. for the base and 34 cm. for the tenon underneath). The statue represents a standing dvarapala (door-guardian).
Professor Jean Boisselier, a French expert on khmer art thinks this bronze statue represents Nandikesvara or Nandisvara, chief of the gana (attendants of Siva). Because of his loyal services, Siva allowed Nandikesvara to change his primitive appearance, which resembles a monkey, to the likeness of Siva. And even if the statue is not really Nandikesvara, Professor Bossolier still thinks this bronze statue is a door-guardian. The way it was gilded and its excellent execution are invitations to suppose that this statue must have stood in front of the central sanctuary of Prasat Kampaeng Yai, or even inside its porch.
