Protection Against Evil Spirits

While biking, and walking through Kompong Chhnang and its surrounding villages we came across many puppets at the entrance of the houses. Sometimes it was just a rubber ball, with a face painted on it, and placed upon the fence.

Khiang asked some of the locals why they do this, and they explained that someone had told them it will keep the evil spirits away from the house.

I think some of these 'guards' are very beautiful, and made a lot of pictures of them. You can look at them in my travelogue.
