	Banteay Srei
		The miniature temple of Banteay Srei is located twenty kilometres north-east of the Bayon as the crow flies, not far from the right bank of the Stung Siem Reap, the river that descends from the Phnom Kulen to flow into the Tonle Sap.
		Given the very particular charm of Banteay Srei - its remarkable state of preservation and the excellence of a near perfect ornamental technique - one should not hesitate, of all the monuments of the Angkor group, to give it the highest priority.
		Banteay Srei, apart from its diminutive form, has also the particularity that it is both a reflection of the past - but not to the point of regression - and an advance to the future in its innovation.

		Banteay Srei, the "Fortress of the Women," is located about an hour by car and a pot-holed road to the north-northeast of Angkor.
		At the center of Banteay Srei is a set of three miniature sandstone towers on a platform - and miniature is stressed here - their doorways are about 4 ft. high, or less.
		Banteay Srei is definitely archaic in its sculpted female and male guardian figures in niches, and in its lintels and the colonettes on each side of the door.

	Banteay Samre
		Banteay Samre, overrun with vegetation and cluttered with fallen blocks from its upper parts, had all the usual charm of ruins lost in the forest, but was no more than an object without form or personality.
		Following the resurrection of Banteay Srei, this first attempt at the restoration of a monument of any considerable size proved that the new method of work was justified and the confidence placed in its success well founded.
		The overall dimensions of Banteay Samre are sufficiently small that, no matter from where, one gets the impression of the whole as being a complete composition of impeccable proportions, and all the more slender since the buildings are all perched high on a platform leaving the courtyard at a lower level.
