     Abstract This article is a part of the study of Apsara Sculptures at Angkor Wat: From the Philosophical Symbol and Aesthetic to the Accessories Design. The research aims to study the styles of outfits and accessories and to assume the Khmer ladies of the court’s traditional use of various materials as accessories shown in Apsara sculptures at Angkor Wat. The study site is Angkor Wat, Siem Reap, Cambodia. The study shows the beauty of craftsmanship or the meaning of materials or arts of the time reflected through different types of traditional outfits and accessories shown on the Apsara sculptures. These representations of traditional Khmer ladies of the court’s outfits during the Angkor Wat period shown on the Apsara sculptures raise the question about the use of materials for making accessories. The analysis is based on iconography and symbolic interactionism. The relationship between the outfits and the accessories shown on the Apsara sculptures at Angkor Wat is analyzed to find the most possible tradition of accessory materials used by Khmer ladies of the court. The diffusion theory of culture is also used to analyze the connections of the religion and other factors including tradition, culture, environment, life, role of the ladies of the court, and social context. The findings from related documents and field interviews suggest that there is a connection between the Apsara sculptures’ outfits and accessories and the traditional outfits of the ladies of the court at that time. The findings also suggest that it can be assumed that the materials used to make accessories were both natural and metal materials, depending on their caste, social contexts, environment, or life. The beautiful crafting of these materials as shown on the Apsara sculptures at Angkor Wat also reflects the social, culture and the perspective of local people.
