At the height of the Khmer Empire, royalty and aristocracy traveled in handheld carriages or palanquins. The seat of a palanquin was slung from ropes attached to hooks. They were used to support a bronze ring from which hung the seat, like a hammock or swing. A wooden pole would then have passed through the hollow collar at the top of the hook and was carried by bearers on their shoulders.
