The West Mebon Vishnu, one of the largest bronzes found at Cambodia's Angkor archaeological site, is being restored at a laboratory in western France.
The 11th century statue, part of the collection of the National Museum of Cambodia, depicts the Hindu god Vishnu reclining on the ocean of eternity. It was discovered in 1936 by French archaeologist Maurice Glaize, then the curator of Cambodia's Angkor archaeological site.
