Angkor Wat, Cambodia

Apsaras are celestial dancers and nymph goddesses produced from the foam of the Churning of the Sea of Milk. More than 1700 are carved into the walls of Angkor Wat, and each has individual characteristics. This lovely one wears a five-tower headdress reminiscent of Angkor Wat itself.
