Description

TWO MINIATURE BRONZE FIGURES DEPICTING UMA AND VISHVAKARMA, KHMER EMPIRE, ANGKOR PERIOD, 12TH-13TH CENTURY

Each finely cast, the first depicting Uma, consort of Shiva, represented by her torso alone, emerging from a stylized lotus flower with a small tenon below for insertion, her hands joined in anjali mudra before her prominent breasts. The second portrays Vishvakarma, the divine craftsman and architect of the devas, kneeling in a dynamic posture with his left hand resting on his thigh and his right hand raised holding a small mace (gada), clad in a diaphanous sampot with pleated folds gathered around his legs. Both figures adorned with richly jeweled armlets, necklaces, and earrings. Their serene faces crowned with distinctive tiaras and conical headdresses. (2)

Provenance: The collection of The Zelnik István Southeast Asian Gold Museum, acquired in Cambodia during the 1990s. Dr. István Zelnik, President of the Hungarian South and Southeast Asian Research Institute, is a former high-ranking Hungarian diplomat who spent several decades in Southeast Asia, building the largest known private collection of Asian art in Europe.
Condition: Very good condition with ancient wear and typical casting irregularities. Expected traces of weathering and erosion. Light warping. Few minor nicks, losses, and faint surface scratches. The bronze surface with a rich, naturally grown patina with extensive areas of malachite encrustation.
