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.

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...
