Siem Reap: A significant archaeological find has been made at the Banteay Prei Temple, where a sandstone door guardian statue (Dvarapala) was uncovered by the Department of Conservation of Monuments and Preventive Archaeology of the APSARA National Authority. The statue was located to the east of the temple's second gate, buried under the ground approximately 80 centimeters.

Archaeologist Chea Sarith reported that the statue appears to have been dislodged due to the collapse of the gate's upper structure. Despite this, the statue remains in relatively good condition. However, it was found head down facing west, with the body broken into six pieces, including damage to the neck, forearm, left side, waist, and below the knees of both legs. A part of its stick is also missing.

The statue is crafted in the Bayon style and stands about 1.60 meters tall.
