A HIGHLY IMPORTANT SANDSTONE FIGURE OF UMA, ANGKOR PERIOD, BAPHUON STYLE, EARLY 11TH CENTURYExpert's note: This exceptional sculpture is most remarkable for the tactile quality of its polished surface, suggestive of youthful skin. Baphuon period sculptures with a smooth, diaphanous sampot rather than one incised with pleats are extremely rare and likely date to the earlier part of the 11th century. Compare a closely related Baphuon style female torso showing a similarly fine polish, 96.5 cm high, dated to the early 11th century, formerly in the collection of John D. Rockefeller 3rd and now in the Asia Society, New York, accession number 1979.065, illustrated by Sherman E. Lee, Ancient Cambodian Sculpture, 1969, p. 58, cat. no. 20.Khmer Empire. The voluptuously carved female deity depicted with supple breasts, slender waist, and wide hips, wearing a smoothly polished, plain sampot, secured by a belt around the hips, a fishtail-shaped flange falling to the front. The face with a benign expression with heavy-lidded eyes beneath a ridged brow and neatly incised full lips forming a subtle smile, flanked by long pendulous lobes, the intricately braided hair rising to a domed topknot with a lotus flowerhead at the top.Provenance: Weber & Bl?uer, Lugano, Switzerland, 1998. A private collection in Berlin, Germany, acquired from the above. A copy of an invoice from Weber & Bl?uer, dated 21 August 1998, signed by M. van Ouwerkerk, confirming the dating above, and stating a purchase price of CHF 240,000 or approx. EUR 308,000 (converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing), accompanies this lot. Weber & Bl?uer, Lugano, was a long-established Swiss art and antiques firm active from the mid-20th century, frequently cited in provenance records through invoices and certificates. M. van Ouwerkerk served as its managing director and also appears in public auction records as a private collector and estate name, cited in major sales.Condition: Excellent condition, commensurate with age. Wear, signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations, obvious losses, minor structural fissures, chips, nicks, scratches. The stone with a fine, naturally grown, smooth patina.Weight: 49 kg (incl. stand) Dimensions: Height 102 cm (excl. stand), 113 cm (incl. stand)Mounted on an associated metal stand. (2)The sculpture created during the Baphuon period, beginning in the first half of the 11th century, represents an apex never quite equaled again in Khmer art. Divine figures from this time are rendered with anatomical precision as well as a serene and dignified presence. The gods appear as handsome, well-built Khmer aristocratic male figures and the goddesses are beautiful, sensuous, graceful females. These sacred images are elegant and naturalistic in their appeal, presenting the deities in idealized human terms.The sculpture is modest in size compared to some of the overpowering images produced during the tenth century. The faces are soft and often seductive in their expressions. The ubiquitous chignon-covers and diadems represented on images during much of the tenth century are less frequently represented during the Baphuon period. Instead, the hair is pulled up into a chignon that is held in place by a simple jeweled or flowered chain. The workmanship is superb and executed with a jeweler's precision.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's New York, 23 September 2004, lot 63Price: USD 1,127,500 or approx.
