Three girls sit in stone doorway near carved columns of building at Angkor

Three girls sit in a stone doorway near carved columns of a building at Angkor. The stone columns visible on each side of the doorway are densely carved with horizontal bands and small, round designs between the bands. The original doors of the building were made of wood, and long ago deteriorated in the humid, tropical climate of Cambodia.All three girls wear light blouses with collars and wide trousers of colorful printed material. The girl in the middle wears short cropped hair with bangs (a hair style formerly favored by women allied with the Communist Khmer Rouge) and is holding a book in her lap. The other two girls also hold possessions in their laps, perhaps items to sell to tourists visiting the ancient temple site.
