The number of artifacts collected during the 1934 excavation amounted to 58 tons, including large statues and numerous architectural decorative parts made of stone. Another excavation was undertaken there in 2011 and explored several similar artifacts. The artistic style of the artifacts collected at Thap Mam relic share common in complexity, details, but stereotyped, less soft and flexible compared to the artifacts of the previous periods. The title “Thap Mam” was subsequently utilized to name a style of Champa sculpture that possesses the same characteristics as this group of artifacts.

After the Thap Mam period, Cham sculpture entered the declining stage.
