A model of Angkor Wat in reddish-coloured tropical wood, made on a scale of 1:50 by Cambodian craftsmen in 2007, shows the monumental architecture of the original temple complex. However, the more interesting items here are the 23-m-long cast of reliefs decorated with battle scenes between gods and demons, a royal parade, and the arrival of deceased souls in heaven or hell.
The original 12th-century stone reliefs ran as a continuous two-meter-high band along the interior walls of galleries. The displayed plaster reliefs were cast in the 1980s from paper moulds taken in 1898. (The Berlin museum has moulds for 200 m of the relief.) The art style is different, but the punishments are quite similar to the Dantesque interpretation of hell in Italian Renaissance art.
