拍品描述
A FINE SANDSTONE FIGURE OF ARDHANARISHVARA, ANGKOR PERIOD, 10TH-12TH CENTURYKhmer Empire. Superbly carved in a dancing pose, representing Shiva and Uma merged into one body, the hands resting on the thighs, wearing a short, finely incised sampot secured at the waist with a low belt issuing tassels, with one end shown in curved pleats on his right thigh and the other terminating in an overhanging flange, tied to the back in a butterfly knot. Generously adorned in foliate jewelry, the serene face sensitively modeled and crisply delineated with almond-shaped eyes and full lips. The finely braided hair gathered in a domed topknot partly behind a conical half-tiara.Provenance: From the collection of Jean-Marc Andral, acquired at Galerie des antiquaries, Versailles, between 1998 and 2006.

(2)Ardhanarishvara is a composite form of the Hindu deity Shiva joined with his consort Parvati. The figure is typically shown split vertically down the middle, embodying half-male and half-female features. This powerful icon represents the inseparability of Shiva and Shakti, illustrating the harmonious balance of masculine and feminine energies in the universe. Typically, Ardhanarishvara is portrayed standing or kneeling. The present figure, however, is rendered in a dynamic dancing pose—a treatment of the theme that is exceptionally rare in Khmer art and adds a striking vitality to this profound symbol of divine unity.Literature comparison:Compare a related sandstone figure of Ardhanarishvara, Baphuon style, 69.5 cm tall, in the National Museum of Cambodia, inventory number Ka.2734. Compare a related sandstone figure of a female dancing deity, Koh Ker style, 135 cm high, in the Musée Guimet, accession number MG 18096, illustrated by Helen Jessup and Thierry Zephir in Sculpture of Angkor and Ancient Cambodia: Millennium of Glory, Paris, 1997, p. 213, cat. no. 43.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Christie's Amsterdam, 18 October 2005, lot 152 Price: EUR 26,290 or approx.
