拍品描述
A RARE BRONZE FIGURE OF GANESHA, KHMER EMPIRE, BAPHUON STYLE

Cambodia, late 11th century. Seated in dhyanasana on a tiered plinth, the four-armed deity holding a disk and lotus stem. Adorned with jewelry, the elephant head deity is clad in a short sampot elegantly tied with a stylized tang to the back. The serene face with a curling trunk, flaring ears, and wide eyes, the hair secured in a conical chignon, backed by a tiara.

Provenance: From a private collection in Chicago, United States.
Condition: Good condition with wear and casting irregularities. Losses, expected nicks, minor dents, and few encrustations. The bronze with a smooth, natural grown, dark patina with malachite encrustations.

Weight: 164 g
Dimensions: Height 8.6 cm

God of wisdom and remover of obstacles both visible and invisible, the elephant-headed Ganesha is invoked at the commencement of any new undertaking or journey. As the deity's spirit was thought to reside within its likeness, this small bronze statue would thus constitute a perfect traveling companion, guiding its owner towards wise decisions and safe paths.
