拍品描述
A RARE AND IMPORTANT SANDSTONE FIGURE OF VISHNU, ANGKOR PERIOD, PRE RUP STYLEKhmer Empire, mid-10th century. Gracefully carved, standing in samabhanga, wearing a short sampot neatly incised with parallel pleats, secured by a belt with double fishtail folds falling to the front and a butterfly knot at the back. The mustachioed face with serene expression, almond-shaped eyes, gently ridged brows, and full lips forming a subtle smile, flanked by elongated earlobes. The hair coiffed in a tiered faceted chignon behind the flared foliate tiara.Provenance: From a private collection in Belgium, assembled in the 1970s and 1980s, and thence by descent.Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Expected wear, obvious losses, the neck with an old repair, chips, nicks, scratches. Weight: 53.6 kg (incl. stand)Dimensions: Height 116 cm (excl. stand), 121 cm (incl. stand)Mounted on an associated metal stand. (2)This fine sacred image representing the four-armed Vishnu most likely dates from the Pre-Rup period (944-968). Its style borrows from earlier Bakheng (889-928) and Koh Ker (928-944) stone examples. The result is a technical superb sculpture being less hieratic than examples from these earlier periods. The body appears to be more elegant and less sturdy and powerful than examples from these mentioned styles. The continuing eyebrows above the almond-shaped eyes seem to be less ridged than comparable examples from the Koh Ker period. All these elements together suggest that this great sculpture can be stylistically placed around the mid-tenth century.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related larger sandstone figure of Vishnu, dated c. 950, 226 cm tall, in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, accession number M.76.19.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Christie's Paris, 11 December 2013, lot 342 Price: EUR 121,500 or approx.
