Description

A SANDSTONE FIGURE OF BUDDHA MUCHALINDA, ANGKOR WAT STYLE, 12TH-13TH CENTURY

Khmer Empire. Powerfully sculpted, seated in dhyanasana on the scaled coils of Muchalinda, his hands lowered in dhyana mudra, dressed in a modest sampot, the face with downcast eyes in a benevolent expression, flanked by elongated earlobes with pendeloque earrings. The hair pulled into a conical chignon and secured with a wide tiara, backed by the seven-headed naga hood, their bodies decorated with sun wheels. The jewelry, scales, and head of the snake display delicate and remarkably well-preserved incision work.

Provenance: RR Collection, Belgium, acquired in the 1980s by the father of the previous owner and thence by direct descent. A provenance statement by the previous owner, confirming the above and revealing the collector’s identity, will be provided to the winning bidder after full payment has been received.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, obvious losses, small chips, scattered nicks and scratches, some rubbing, signs of weathering and erosion, and encrustations.

Weight: 33.4 kg
Dimensions: Height 74 cm

Muchalinda is the name of a naga sheltering the Buddha from the elements after his enlightenment. When a storm raged and torrential rain fell for a whole week, the king of the nagas, Muchalinda, rose from the earth, coiling its body to form a seat and swelled its great hood to shelter Buddha. When the great storm had cleared, the serpent king assumed his human form, bowed before the Buddha, and returned to his palace. Seven-headed nagas are often depicted as guardian statues, carved as balustrades on causeways leading to main Cambodian temples, such as those found in Angkor Wat.
