Square Cham Pillar The ‘classic art’ is so called because of the architectural formula followed in the representation of the Myson temple of mid-eleventh century. The ‘pyramidal art’ dervies its title from its pyramidal form, as represented by the Bang An temple of the earliest tenth century, Po Nagar temple of the late twelfth century, and the Yan Pron temple of the fourteenth century. Lastly, what is called the ‘derived art,’ has departed from the recognized canons of the classical art and is represented by the Myson temples of the twelfth century, the Po Khaun Garai of the fourteenth century, and Po Rome of the mid-seventeenth century.
