Image description:
To the north of the Royal Terraces stands the Terrace of the Leper King, which owes its name to a statue on its upper platform that is traditionally thought to represent a legendary Khmer ruler who suffered from leprosy but in fact represents a deity associated with death. The supporting walls are sculpted with images of deities arranged in registers that presumably correspond to the different levels of existence.
