Description

A SANDSTONE LINTEL DEPICTING BRAHMA WORSHIPPED BY GANESHAS, ANGKOR PERIOD

Khmer Empire, 10th-12th century. Boldly and deeply carved to the center with Brahma – his fourth head is obscured due to the two-dimensional nature of the piece – seated in ardhapadmasana on a short rectangular base, dressed in a short sampot, adorned with fine jewelry, the primary hands resting on his lap and secondary arms raised and holding a mala and a book, within a lobed arched niche with foliate decorations, flanked by two soaring apsaras with hands clasped together in anjali mudra and six kneeling Ganeshas.

Provenance: Collection of Margaretha Smits, Antwerp, Belgium, inherited from her uncle who acquired the present lot in 1902, during his Grand Tour from Belgium to China between 1900 to 1903. The private collection of Béatrice Bück-Hennebelle, Mersch, Luxembourg, acquired from the above. Béatrice Bück-Hennebelle is a collector and dealer of Asian art who has been active in the trade for over 40 years. She offers a wide range of antiques and works of art, with a special focus on Asian art, as well as appraisal and restoration services.

Dimensions: Length 114 cm, Height 50 cm (excl. stand)
