The external mass of the external exhibition highlights a progression of bas-reliefs delineating authentic occasions and scenes from the ordinary life of the Angkorian Khmer. In spite of the fact that profoundly point by point and enlightening in themselves, the bas-reliefs are not joined by any kind of epigraphic content, and thus extensive instability stays as to which chronicled occasions are depicted and how, if by any stretch of the imagination, the distinctive reliefs are connected. From the east gopura clockwise, the subjects are:
in the southern piece of the eastern display a walking Khmer armed force (counting some Chinese fighters), with performers, horsemen, and officers mounted on elephants, trailed by wagons of procurements;
still in the eastern exhibition, on the opposite side of the entryway driving into the yard, another parade took after by household scenes portraying Angkorian houses, a percentage of the inhabitants of which seem, by all accounts, to be Chinese shippers;
in the southeast corner structure, an unfinished sanctuary scene with towers, apsaras, and a lingam;
in the eastern piece of the southern display, a maritime fight on the Tonle Sap in the middle of Khmer and Cham strengths, underneath which are more scenes from regular citizen life delineating a business sector, outside cooking, seekers, and ladies watching out for youngsters and an invalid;
still in the southern exhibition, past the entryway prompting the patio, a scene with pontoons and angler, including a Chinese garbage, beneath which is a delineation of a cockfight; then some castle scenes with princesses, hirelings, individuals occupied with discussions and diversions, wrestlers, and a wild pig battle; then a fight scene with Cham warriors landing from vessels and drawing in Khmer warriors whose bodies are ensured by snaked ropes, trailed by a scene in which the Khmer overwhelm the battle, trailed by a scene in which the Khmer lord praises a triumph feast with his subjects;
in the western piece of the southern display, a military parade including both Khmers and Chams, elephants, war machines, for example, a vast crossbow and a sling;
in the southern piece of the western display, unfinished reliefs demonstrate an armed force walking through the timberland, then contentions and battling between gatherings of Khmers
in the western display, past the entryway to the patio, a scene delineating a scuffle between Khmer warriors, then a scene in which warriors seek after others past a pool in which a colossal fish swallows a little deer; then an imperial parade, with the lord remaining on an elephant, went before by the ark of the sacrosanct fire;
in the western piece of the northern exhibition, again unfinished, a scene of regal stimulation including competitors, performers and aerialists, a parade of creatures, religious austerity sitting in a woodland, and more fights in the middle of Khmer and Cham strengths;
in the northern exhibition, past the entryway to the patio, a scene in which the Khmer escape from Cham troopers propelling in tight positions;
in the upper east corner structure, another walking Khmer armed force;
in the eastern display, an area fight in the middle of Khmer and Cham powers, both of which are upheld by elephants: the Khmer give off an impression of being winning.
The external display encases a yard in which there are two libraries (one on either side of the east passage). Initially the patio contained 16 houses of prayer, however these were in this manner wrecked by the Hindu restorationist Jayavarman VIII.
