Tympanum bust praying eroded
Binh Dinh style (?) V. XIII siècle.Grès, long. 44 cm width. 22 cm high. 39 cm (Natural History Museum in Lyon, No. 81000011).

Very eroded and probably incomplete, this bust of praying, of which there are however earrings, was part of the architectural decoration of a temple, and evokes a number of worshipers of Cham Sculpture Museum in Da Nang particularly in the room called "My Son". Her hairstyle is bordered bolster a headband tiara in sharp relief. Despite the absence of collar, shape, square, face and shoulders evokes another eardrum, currently at the Musée Guimet in Paris, which come from Thanh Hung, who would be dated to the late style of Binh Dinh, c that is to say from the late thirteenth century or early fourteenth.
