2. Sample Images Power and beauty in the 12th and 13th century of Angkorian Society was denoted by costume, hair length, ornamentation, items carried, and by objects owned, such as the method of transportation.

3. Servant Status As one can see with this lowly fire starter, the dress is minimal, hair is short, and there is no ornamentation.

4. Ordinary Person These Pig Fighters wore very simple attire, no ornamentations and had short hair.

5. Dancing Women of Court Woman were carved with breast exposed, size counts. Status of the dancers in court was denoted by head dress

14. Beauty is Power, and Power is Beautiful Is this lesson from the study of Angkor Wat true today? Are we attracted to beauty, and do we entrust the “beautiful people” with power? Do we copy the beauty trends–the clothing styles, the hair styles, the ornamentation, and the objects they possess–of the powerful, thinking them to be beautiful?

15. After examining the lessons of Angkor Wat, create a project to represent how this history lesson is still relevant today. You may choose the method of presentation that best suits your learning style.
