Sem Phanet, a 20-year-old Buddhist monk from Kampong Chhnang province, sculpts a statue of a kinnara – a mythical part human, part bird – yesterday at Prochum Sakor pagoda in Chroy Changvar commune, in Phnom Penh’s Russey Keo district. Sem Phanet is one of about 10 monks who are creating 30 kinnara statues.
