From Angkor:  "The Terrace of the Elephants extends over 300 metres in length from the Baphuon to the Terrace of the Leper King.  It has three main platforms and two subsidiary ones. ...  One of the main attractions of this terrace is the facade decorated with elephants and their riders depicted in profile. ... The elephants are using their trunks to hunt and fight while tigers claw at them. ... At the northern end of the plaform behind the outer wall, a large horse with five heads sculpted in high relief stand on each side at the base of the inner retaining wall."

"The Terrace of the Leper King carries on the theme of grandeur that characterises the building during Jayavarman VII's reign.  It is faced with dramatic bas-reliefs, both on the interior and exterior.  During clearing, the EFEO found a second wall with bas-reliefs similar in composition to those on the outer wall. ... The curious name of this terrace refers to a statue of the Leper King that is on the platform on the terrace. ... The figure is depicted in a seated position with his right knee raised, a position some art historians consider to be Javanese-style.  Its nakedness is unusual in Khmer art."
