拍品描述
Khmer Empire, 12th-13th century. Boldly carved, the powerful beast with a ferocious expression marked by bulging round eyes, a prominent snout, open mouth revealing sharp teeth and fangs, and pricked ears, all framed by the subtly detailed fur and richly carved mane.Provenance: From a private collection in France. Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, obvious losses, signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations, scattered nicks and scratches, structural fissures, few minor old repairs.Weight: 76.2 kg (incl. stand)Dimensions: Height 49 cm (excl. stand), 72 cm (incl. stand)Mounted on a modern metal stand. (2)As noted by Sherman Lee (Ancient Cambodian Sculpture, New York, 1969, p. 110), although such statues were popular temple guardians throughout the Khmer empire, lions themselves were non-native to Cambodia. As a result, surviving examples show a powerful yet non-naturalistic figure and a fantastical mask-like face. These features, in turn, visually reinforce the present piece's protective function, while the collar renders its obedience to the religiopolitical institution it once guarded. For a related Bayon-style sandstone figure of a lion in the Musee Guimet, accession number MG 18109, as well as further discussion see Hellen Ibbitson Jessup and Thierry Zephir (ed.), Millennium of Glory: Sculpture of Angkor and Ancient Cambodia, Washington, 1997, p. 280-281, no. 81.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related sandstone head of a guardian lion dated to the 13th century in the Weltmuseum, Vienna, inventory number 170722.
