i was wondering, is the naga coming down from the apsara's ear accurate, is the crown itself accurate? which apsara did the artisans copy from?
the ancient versions have no naga, or the one i have seen.   the modern khmer    is this why the thai version is diffrent? This post has been edited by joost_leaki: Sep 4 2006, 02:36 AM |

Go get that picture of Bopha Devi in the apsara costume, you can see that version is more 'accurate' or rather, more closer in resemblance to that bas-relief.

   it looks the same, almost. but it is still quite far away.  i think the thai apsara crown i saw siri post was more like the bas-relief, just the crown, not the entire thing. |

It's amazing how they can dance so gracefully with so much weight on their heads. I've never heard of an apsara dancer tipping over before. XD |

I justed realize all of the apsara costume look the same. Can't that make it a little different like regular costumes? Aiyana, you can buy it from Khmer silk, but is ver expensive. www.ksilks.com
If you just want an exotic present, I recommend you look for Balinese crowns instead. They're much cheaper and are usually more colorful. |
