Faces of the Bayon #2

The Bayon is famous for the faces carved on on the four sides of each of its 54 towers. There has been much debate about who or what the faces are meant represent but it is generally agreed they are images of Jayavarman VII and signify his omnipresence as king. Angkor Archaeological Park, Siem Reap, Cambodia.
