Khmer Carved Sandstone Male Deity, Style of the Baphoun, 11th Century
About the Item
A delightful carved sandstone sculpture of an unidentified male deity, Khmer, Angkor Period, style of the Baphuon, 11th century.
The smiling, youthful male figure is portrayed standing upright, knees slightly bent, dressed in a pleated and tied sampot. His hair arranged in neat tresses and tied in a low chignon surmounted by a stylized lotus blossom.
His face rendered in the typical squared off Khmer fashion with almond shaped eyes, a broad, flattened nose, and square lips curved upward in a gracious smile. Traces of an incised mustache and beard are present, which associates this figure with the Hindu god Shiva. However, without the third eye present, it is not possible to identify this figure as such.
The slim figure portrayed in a naturalistic fashion, with narrow hips and broad shoulders, the belly slightly extended.
Measures: Height of figure only 21"
Provenance: Private Southern California collection, early 2000s.
