Description

A BRONZE ‘VISHVAKARMAN’ PELLET DRUM, ANGKOR PERIOD, 11TH-12TH CENTURY

Khmer Empire. Finely modeled, the double-headed drum raised on a ribbed shaft and surmounted by a diminutive seated figure of the celestial architect Vishvakarman, surrounded by four adorant figures with their hands pressed together in reverence, each clutching a lotus bud. Decorated to the sides with Garuda standing above multi-headed nagas in relief, framed by rows of foliate denticles, and pierced at the rim with a series of apertures to mount the membrane. The bronze with a rich, naturally grown patina with areas of malachite encrustations.

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: Very good condition, commensurate with age. Casting irregularities, wear, signs of weathering and corrosion, soil encrustations, few small nicks and dents, small losses, all as expected. Solid patina with malachite and cuprite encrustations overall.

Weight: 1,704.7 g (excl. stand), 2,450.8 g (incl. stand)
Dimensions: Height 33.5 cm (excl. stand), 40.5 cm (incl. stand)

Mounted on an associated stand. (2)

It was during the great building projects commenced by King Jayavarman VII (r. 1181-1291) that Vishvakarman iconography became popular within the Khmer empire. The embodiment of a sculptor, architect and priest, the deity is Hindu in origin and was first referred to in the Vedas and Puranas. Regardless, during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, his image was revered by both Buddhists and Hindu worshippers in the region.
