It tapers upward the way the real thing does, and the whole surface is worked with the \u003cstrong\u003ejoint lines of the masonry\u003c\/strong\u003e — a fine grid of sandstone blocks running across the cheeks, the brow and the tiers above. That single decision is what makes it read as carved stone instead of polished metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front face wears the expression the Bayon is known for: eyes lowered, brows level, a broad closed-mouth smile. A second face turns out to either side, so the piece looks in more than one direction the way the towers do above Angkor Thom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbove the brow sits a carved \u003cstrong\u003ediadem\u003c\/strong\u003e of lotus-bud forms, and the tower rises behind it in stepped courses of stylised petals, each register cut separately.
