Vishnu asleep on the back of a singha (the Narai Bantomsin)

In the early 1960's, this lintel piece vanished, only to reappear some 25 years later in the
Boston Museum in the United States. After protracted negotiations, the museum returned the piece,
which was restored to its proper place over the doorway to the sanctuary of Wat Phnom Rung.
