A nearly complete Dvarapala sculpture, or “door guard” in South Asian mythology, was found buried under the Banteay Prei temple in Angkor Archaeological Park , Cambodia .

The statue had been apparently dislodged because of damage to the upper structure of the gate it was guarding.

It was discovered buried two-and-a-half feet below the ground.
