Description

? A BRONZE FIGURE OF VAJRASATTVA, BAPHUON STYLE, 11TH CENTURY

Khmer Empire. Finely cast seated on a tall double-lotus base holding the vajra and ghanta, wearing a sampot and floret armlets and necklace, his face with a serene expression surmounted by a conical headdress.

Provenance: Collection of Drs. Edmund and Julie Lewis. Drs. Edmund Jean and Julia Breyer Lewis are renowned experts in nephrology who met professionally and later married in 1997, and have since continued to collect Japanese art together, actively seeking the best they could find from the finest dealers in the field. Known for their keen scholarship and high aesthetic standards, for the past three decades Ed and Julie have focused on collecting lacquer art, painting, and Buddhist sculpture from Japan. As they traveled widely their desire to collect Buddhist art grew, and they have expanded their collection to include important Pan-religious sculpture from Greater Asia.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and casting irregularities. Small nicks, few tiny losses, light rubbing. The base with a stress crack to the back and two circular apertures possibly inherent to the manufacture. The bronze with a fine, naturally grown, dark patina with scattered malachite and cuprite encrustations. The statue has been professionally cleaned and conserved at some point in its more recent history.

Weight: 563 g
Dimensions: Height 15 cm

Literature comparison:
This example is unusually finely modeled and crisply cast, with the deity displaying a rather relaxed and approachable attitude; for another example, see George Coedes, Bronzes Khmers, 1923, plate XXVII, fig. 2. Compare a closely related bronze figure of Vajrasattva, style of Angkor Thom, 12th-13th century, in the Cleveland Museum of Art, accession number 1947.494.
