Can anyone identify the symbol on the stylized hair (jatamukata)? I believe the female deity may be Uma in the Prei Kmeng style but have not seen the symbol before. I�ve heard that it may be a stylized flame symbolizing enlightenment but that is only a guess.

The photo is the first photo on this website: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chet411

Any info would be appreciated.
Tks,
Chet
