拍品描述
A SANDSTONE FIGURE OF A FEMALE DEITY, KHMER PERIOD, KOH KER STYLE, 10TH CENTURY

The robust figure stands in samabhanga, elegantly carved with hour-glass form torso, with full breast above delicately incised lines to indicate slight rolls of skin and sumptuous wide hips. She wears a long sampot flaring slightly at the bottom, with a large curling flap and incised vertical lines to indicate the fine pleats.

Provenance: From a Belgian private collection.
Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, obvious losses, signs of weathering and erosion, nicks, scratches.

Dimensions: Height 89 cm (excl. stand), 95 cm (incl. stand)

Mounted on a metal stand. (2)

The Koh Ker temple complex, approximately 80km northeast of Angkor, was the capital of the Khmer Empire from 928-944 under the kings Jayavarman IV and Harshavarman II. Koh Ker's sculptural style is distinct from those developed in Angkor's immediate vicinity. The stone sculpture, often monumental in size, is imbued with a heightened sense of movement and a suppleness of form. The broad flap of pleated fabric that hangs over the sash at the waist, a fashion which first appeared in the last quarter of the ninth century, then became the convention in the tenth century during the Koh Ker period.

The hieratic monumentality of this rare female deity is balanced against the soft fleshy skin and flair of the curling flap that Jean Boisselier, in his review of Koh Ker sculptural style (Asie du Sud-Est, 1966, p.248) characterized as 'dynamic equilibrium'.
