Thousand Buddhas' carved pillar exhibited at museum in Cambodia

PHNOM PENH, March 11 (Xinhua): A centuries-old Thousand Buddhas' carved sandstone pillar is on a public display at the Preah Norodom Sihanouk-Angkor Museum in northwest Cambodia's Siem Reap province, the Apsara National Authority (ANA) said in a news release on Saturday.

The large pillar with the images of carved Buddha is in Bayon style and was probably created during the late 12th century, said the ANA, which is the government agency responsible for managing, safeguarding and preserving the famed Angkor Archeological Park.
