About the Item
Exceptional Antique Carved Stone Bust of Vishnu Mounted On a Wooden Base. Ca. 7th-12th Century AD. An ancient carved stone sculpture depicting Vishnu, wearing drapery and his characteristic conical headdress. The fragmentary carved stone figure is presented from the knees up. The head of the figure is surmounted with a fabulous Mandorla surrounding the headdress.
The figure has a well carved face with impressive details including the figure's ear hangings and necklace with sash across the chest. Carving to the back appears to indicate that this was likely mounted to a wall in its history but is currently displayed mounted on a wood base.
Vishnu is one of the most important gods in the Hindu pantheon. He is considered a member of the holy trinity (trimurti) of Hinduism with Brahma and Shiva. Vishnu is the Preserver and guardian of men, he protects the order of things (dharma), and he appears on earth in various incarnations (avatars) to fight demons and to maintain cosmic harmony.

Stunning Sculpture of Vishnu in Sandstone
By John Brevard
Located in Coral Gables, FL
This stunning sculpture of Vishnu in sandstone is pre-Khmer, from Cambodia and dates circa 7th century. The size of this elegant artifact is 29 x 12.5 x 34 and it is currently located in a showroom in Europe so shipping may take a bit longer than usual.
This piece is on a high museum quality metal base. This is a Classic and very fine example of the Angkor Wat style.
We purchased this authentic sculpture circa 2012 from an established Belgium antiquities dealer. A letter, like the one in the attached photos, will be included with the purchase.
This is a large and heavy sculpture...
