Aging gracefully
A closer view of 2 of the 216 faces on towers of the Bayon, a Buddhist temple built in the late 12th or early 13th Century by the Khmer King Jayavarman VII at Angkor Thom. There is debate whether the faces which adorn the towers of the temple are of King Jayavarman VII or of the bodhisattva of compassion called Avalokitesvara.
Since 1995 the Japanese Government team for the Safeguarding of Angkor (the JSA) has been the main body carrying out conservation work at the Bayon.

Happy weekend!
Thanks for visiting. I am very grateful to those who take the time to comment or fave.
