Conservation of the 10th‐Century Temple of Phnom Bakheng, Phase 5
This project, which continues work begun under previous Ambassadors Fund grants and involves the conservation of the temple’s east façade, directly supports the treaty between the United States and Cambodia concerning the looting and illicit trafficking of Khmer antiquities and other Cambodian cultural property.
