These weavings were on display at the Sofitel hotel in Siem Reap. I tried in vain to find something of similar quality at the market or in one of the higher-end shops, but to no avail. I love the story telling in the weaving, and the colors were so rich. The cheap version of the design on the bottom was available at Psar Chaa market, but was extremely low quality. It is possible to buy some decent textiles at the market, but for really fine quality, it's worthwhile to go to Artisans d'Angkor in the city. They also have stone carvings, bags, and other silks available.
