It should be understood that, prior to the modern Cmbodia, Jewellery was not merely an accessory or ornament worn to beautify wearers ut also a sign of within cultural, social, and religious context of a community. This is because jewellery was expensive and rare. Unfortunately, not much precious jewellery, especially those made of valuable material such as gold or silver has survived until today. However we can see inscriptions, in which the jewellery is mentioned as fifts to religious establishment or individuals. The Jewellery can also be seen in various styles and designs as depicted in thousands of Khmer statuaries.
