Khmer Style Sandstone Frieze of Buddhist God Brahma

About the Item

The Buddhist god Brahma(ghe creator god) in Tantric or Vajrayana Buddhism, is depicted in Khmer art, particularly during the Angkor period often as a dancing figure with multiple arms and faces symbolizing enlightenment and liberation. This very heavy carving was bought in the 1950-1960s by a Richmond, Virginia professor in Cambodia and was brought back during that time period and it came out of his estate. I believe it is a vintage copy of one of the friezes at Anghor Wat. A beautiful copy of one of the originals and old enough to have some actual patina. The piece is in very good condition and it is very heavy, roughly 3-400 pounds. If this was a real piece the cost would be astronomical.
