拍品描述
A RARE AND IMPORTANT SANDSTONE FIGURE OF UMA, BAKHENG STYLE, ANGKOR PERIOD, LATE 9TH-EARLY 10TH CENTURYKhmer Empire. Standing in samabhanga, the unadorned figure with prominent breasts and a beautifully rounded belly, dressed in a long, striated sarong secured by a tasseled belt with an overhanging flange to the front. The exquisite head of the deity with large leaf-shaped eyes set beneath fine, ridged brows, her full mouth curved in a slight smile. Her hair is arranged in a tall chignon composed of tiered symmetrical loops and secured at her forehead with a richly carved foliate diadem.Provenance: From an important Austrian private collection.Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, obvious losses, signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations, nicks, scratches, large chips, cracks, and surface abrasion.Dimensions: Height 93 cm (excl. stand and tang), 114 cm (incl. stand and tang)Mounted on an associated stand. (2)The treatment of the eyebrows in a continuous raised ridge is a formal Bakheng convention, as is the careful attention paid to the delineation of each individual facial feature. While Bakheng period sulptures are characterized by a slight severity in their expressions, this face with its wide, open eyes and gentle smile exudes benevolence. Uma's heavy breasts, diadem terminating in a fluid double bow at the back of the head, and the skirt's wide upper flap are further indicative of the Bakheng style, named after a pyramidal, mountain-shaped temple called Phnom Bakheng built by the Khmer king Yashovarman I at the end of the 9th century.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related Bakheng style sandstone figure of a female Hindu deity, dated approx. 890-925, 132.1 cm high, in the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, object number B68S19. Compare a closely related sandstone figure of Uma, dated to the 10th century, 124.2 cm high, in the National Museum of Asian Art, Smithsonian Institute, accession number S1987.909. The style of figure, the arrangement of the dhoti, and the jeweled belt can be compared to a figure in the Musée Guimet, illustrated by Helen Ibbitson Jessup and Thierry Zephir, Sculpture of Angkor and Ancient Cambodia; Millennium of Glory, New York, 1997, pp. 208-209, fig. 41.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's Paris, 14 December 2016, lot 18Price: EUR 47,500 or approx. EUR 57,500 adjusted for inflation at the time of writing: An important sandstone figure of Uma, Cambodia, Khmer, Koh Ker period, 10th centuryExpert remark: Compare the closely related modeling, manner of carving, stone, and subject. Note the similar size (113 cm). In many ways, the Bakheng style is quite similar to the later Koh Ker style, which developed in the first half of the 10th century at Koh Ker, especially in their shared interest in strong, solid bodies and clear sculptural volumes.
