Description
Society, Economics, and Politics in Pre-Angkor Cambodia: The 7th-8th Centuries. By MICHAEL VICKERY. Tokyo: CENTRE FOR EAST ASIAN CULTURAL STUDIES FOR UNESCO, 1998. Pp. vii +486. Southeast Asia offers an especially interesting arena for studying the reception of images of deities. Sometime around the fifth century A.D. Indian-related images appear in Southeast Asia. While there are a few possibilities, no images of deities can be identified with certainty in Southeast Asia before these Indian-related images appear. Even those that could possibly be identified as gods, primarily the feathered men on the Dongson drums, are small and apparently were not used as a focus of worship and ritual.
