M. Parmentier has made a technical classification of all these monuments under five headings.³ What he calls the ‘primitive art’ is represented by the Myson and the Po Nagar temples of the seventh and the first quarter of the ninth centuries respectively. The ‘cubic art,’ deriving its name from the cube-shaped roof of the temples, is represented by the Myson temples of the eighth century, Po Nagar temple of the late ninth century, and the Dong Duong temple of the same period. The ‘mixed art,’ deriving its title from a combination of ‘primitive’ proportions and ‘cubic’ roof, is represented by the Dong Duong temple of the late ninth century.
