A RARE SANDSTONE IMAGE OF THE ASCETIC SHIVA, ANGKOR WAT STYLE, 12TH-13TH CENTURYExpert's note: The present figure represents a rare manifestation of Shiva, in which he assumed the guise of a Brahmin ascetic and entered the forest to test Parvati during her performance of penance (tapas). Upon revealing himself, he retains the pointed beard — a distinctive feature also rendered in this sculpture. The sharply defined hairline, cylindrical chignon encircled by beaded bands, wide almond-shaped eyes, full lips, and composed expression are characteristic of the Angkor Wat style.Khmer Empire. Superbly carved standing in samabhanga, dressed in a rope-suspended loincloth secured with a central triangular flange passing between the legs and culminating in butterfly tangs. The serene face with almond-shaped eyes, gently arched brows, a broad nose, and full pursed lips forming a gentle smile, flanked by ears with distended lobes, and a long goatee. The neatly braided hair tied away from the face in a tall chignon, terminating in a flower head to the top, and secured by a beaded band.Provenance: RR Collection, Belgium, acquired in the 1980s by the father of the previous owner and thence by direct descent.Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age. Wear, obvious losses, signs of weathering and erosion, small chips, nicks, encrustations, minor structural fissures, one old repair near the ankle.Weight: 26.6 kg Dimensions: Height 83 cm (excl. stand), 90 cm (incl. stand)Mounted on an associated stand. (2)Literature comparison: Compare a related sandstone pediment depicting Parvati's Penance, Preah Pithu, Angkor, 13th century, in the Musée Guimet, accession number MG 18912, and illustrated by Helen Ibbitson Jessup and Thierry Zéphir in Sculpture of Angkor and Ancient Cambodia: Millennium of Glory, 1997, p. 330-331, cat. no. 112. The relief portrays Parvati to the center performing extreme penance in order to be a worthy bride of Shiva. On her left, dressed as a Brahman ascetic stands a figure trying to attract her attention by reviling Shiva. This irritating ascetic is none other than Shiva himself who is testing the devotion of Parvati. To the right, Shiva reveals himself in his kingly glory and presents himself as Parvati's suitor.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's New York, 12 September 2018, lot 341Price: USD 100,000 or approx.
