拍品描述
A SANDSTONE FIGURE OF UMA, BAPHUON STYLE, ANGKOR PERIOD

Khmer empire, 11th century. Finely carved, dressed in a long sampot with a pendent fish-tail pleat and secured by a simple belt tied at the waist. Her serene expression with almond-shaped eyes, bow-shaped lips forming a calm smile, and a dimpled chin, her hair neatly arranged in rows of braids drawn up into a high chignon secured by a beaded diadem.

Provenance: From the private collection of Darwin Freeman, collected between 1968-1971, and thence by descent within the same family. Born 1946 in Idaho, USA, Darwin Freeman was a member of the armed forces and later became an avid collector. He met his wife in the mid-1960s, and the pair later relocated to her hometown of Innsbruck, Austria. In 1967, Freeman was drafted into the U.S. Army and served in Germany and Thailand. While he was stationed at the Embassy in Bangkok, between 1969 and 1971, he actively began engaging in the exploration and collection of ancient bronzes and other works of art. Upon completing his duty, Freeman arranged for his collection to be shipped to Austria, where it remained in storage until this day.
Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age, with ancient wear. Signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations, scratches, small nicks, minor old chips which have smoothened over time.

Weight: 17.1 kg (incl. stand)
Dimensions: Height 81 cm (incl. stand), 70 cm (excl. stand)

The art of the Baphuon period introduced new elements and refinements drawing on the developments of the previous half-century. The wide, muscular torsos are replaced with rounded shoulders and a narrow waist, with curved hips emphasized by the hem of the sampot, which is pulled up over the hips in a U-shape. The folds of the sampot during the Baphuon fall in asymmetrical pleats, emphasizing the multiple layers of the garment, while the knots at the waist often tail off in scrolling embellishments.
