A SANDSTONE 'SHIVA' EKAMUKHALINGA, KHMER, PRE-ANGKOR PERIOD, 7TH-8TH CENTURYThe surface smoothly polished with a square base and an octagonal mid-section rising to the incised and domed top. Centered by an image of Shiva which is meticulously carved with fine facial features, his neatly incised hair secured by a jeweled tiara.Provenance: The private collection of Mrs. Jeannoty, Belgium, acquired in the 1980s. The collection of Farah Massart, Belgium, acquired from the above. Farah Massart is a gallerist and expert in Asian art whose passion began more than thirty years ago while traveling extensively across Asia. After earning a degree in languages and building a career in business management, she reoriented her life toward Southeast Asian and Indian art, founding her gallery Famarte in 2012. Now based in Meise near Brussels with a summer pop-up in Knokke, Famarte specializes in high-quality sculpture, ritual objects, and contemporary Asian art, welcoming collectors in a personal setting. Farah regularly participates in international art fairs and exhibitions, sharing her expertise and dedication with a global community of collectors and enthusiasts.Condition: Very good condition with expected wear, traces of weathering and erosion, chips, nicks, scratches. The sandstone with fine old wear from worship within the culture, and a naturally grown patina, giving the piece an overall unctuous feel.Weight: 20.1 kg Dimensions: Height 41 cmEkamukhalinga are linga represented with a single anthropomorphic image of Shiva. The linga is a phallic symbol representing the regenerative force of this god. Although Shiva is known as the destroyer, he manifests the divine trinity in his form as the linga. As described in the Lingapurana, the square is symbolic of Brahma, the creator, the octagon represents Vishnu, the protector, and the cylindrical top represents Shiva.Expert's note: Original Khmer sandstone lingams have become exceedingly rare, particularly those like the present lot, with a top beautifully polished by centuries of rainfall and worship.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related sandstone lingam, Pre-Angkor period, Phnom da, Angkor Borei, in the National Museum of Cambodia.
