Description: The Uma wears the headdress (Jata) which decorates with flower motifs, and her skirt decorates with florets and wide zig-zag panels, and jeweled belt with pendants, which are characteristics of the Bayon period. There are 3 holes on her face, her body and her skirt, which are not the bullet holes, but there were from the transition-period of the Bayon. In the beginning of the Bayon period, they changed their religion from the Hinduism to the Mahayana Buddhism, so they destroyed and replaced all Hindu gods. So, possible that these 3 holes on face, body and leg were the symbol of destroying the power of this goddess.
