The stand praying, smiling, holding a lotus bud before her breast, shows a series of characteristics of Khuong My style: hairstyle florets (single row), sampot long median and small pan back on the folded edge straight, wide belts, earrings, ring stacked. Finally, beading the necklace is like a "signature" during the period. The smile is one of the great period of "classic" of the Cham art. It is characterized by the shape of eyes, almond shaped, by the fineness of the lower eyelid, which is reduced almost to a line, and the delicate eyebrows, bow slightly drawn.
This is probably an element of architectural decoration.
