Asian Khmer Cambodia Stoned Carved Head Bust of Male Buddhist Buddha Shiva Deity

About the Item

A wonderfully sand stone-carved Asian deity figure / sculpture likely from Cambodia. The detailed head is likely that of the divinity deity Shiva, sometimes referred to as the smiling God-King. The features are clearly reminiscent of the carvings found at both Bayon Temple at Angkor Thom and at Angkor Wat which was originally built in the first half of the 12th century as a Hindu temple and was dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu. However, Angkor Wat transformed into a Buddhist temple by the end of the 12th century and continues to be a center of worship to Buddhism to this day. This work was acquired from a collection of Southeast Asian artifacts but we do not know its exact history or age. We are simply listing the carving / sculpture as 19th century but it could very well be much older. Would be a great addition to any Southeast Asian art or artifacts collection or clear eye-catching stand-alone work in about any setting. Dimensions: 7" High, 4.5" Wide, 4" Deep.

    A collection of three carved sandstone heads on wood display stands from Northern India Rajasthan or Madhya Pradesh, circa 11-12th century. Fragmented from large whole-body statue, these red sandstone heads exhibit very fine carving, typical of Northern Indian Art during the medieval time. Two males and one female, they represent heavenly deities Yakshas and Yakshini. Their facial features were detailed with large almond-shape eyes under thin arched eyebrows. The males have characteristic facial hairs including curvy moustaches and tightly combed beard, both finely carved, and the female wears large spoke loop earrings. They all don fantastical hairstyles with serpent-like spiral locks and some with elaborate knots on top and above the sideburns. These deities are likely celestial musicians.
