Khmer Bronze Figure of Prajnaparamita with Eleven Faces
$65,000
About
The embodiment of transcendental wisdom, Prajnaparamita is often referred to as the mother of all Buddhas.
In this extremely rare tantric form, she is portrayed seated in the half lotus position. Her eleven faces are arranged in two tiers (seven on the first, with an additional four above), all surmounted by a rising conical chignon. Each face has an associated pair of arms which radiate outwards, each hand holding a discreet attribute.
Careful attention has been paid to her clothing and jewelry. She wears a heavily pleated sampot with a cross hatch pattern, elegantly turned down at the waist and tied with an ornate belt featuring pendants shaped like mango leaves. Each face is adorned with lotus bud pendant earrings and crowned with a diadem. A pectoral graces her naked torso, resting gently between her breasts.
This statues features an overall milky green patina.
For a similar example, see the one in the National Museum of Cambodia, and illustrated in the book "Sculpture of Angkor and Ancient Cambodia, Millenium of Glory" (no. 104).
