A SANDSTONE FIGURE OF GANESHA, ANGKOR PERIOD, ANGKOR WAT STYLE, 12TH CENTURYCarved as Ganesha seated on a rounded base with the legs crossed in a composed, meditative posture, the deity holds a broken tusk in one hand and a modak in the other. The pot-bellied body is clad in a finely rendered sampot, its flange curling elegantly over a plain belt. The reverse is embellished by a distinctive butterfly-shaped element.The elephant head is crisply defined, with short tusks and a gently curling trunk, flanked by broad, fanned ears. A tall foliate tiara rises above, lending vertical emphasis and underscoring the divine authority of the figure.Provenance: From the private collection of Marie Louise Alexienne Vanleew (1929-2024), Belgium, acquired in the early 1960s and thence by direct descent to her grandson, the present owner of this lot. A copy of a provenance statement written and signed by the present owner, confirming the above, accompanies this lot.Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age, showing expected wear, signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations, shallow surface scratches, nicks, structural fissures, and obvious losses.Weight: 57.8 kg Dimensions: Height 78 cm (incl. tang), 85.5 cm (incl. tang and stand)Mounted on an associated stand. (2)A popular Hindu deity, Ganesha was introduced to Cambodian artists in the 7th century. Over the next five centuries, India's chubby elephant icon was transformed into a sleek, anthropomorphic figure. Ganesha is known by many other names, the most common ones being Ganapati, Vinayaka, Vighanapati, Balachandra, and Vighaneshvara. He has two sons, Ksema (meaning prosperity; he is also called Subha, auspiciousness), and Labha (profit).Recent archaeological attention to proto-historic societies in peninsular and northeastern Thailand as well as southern Vietnam illustrates that these 'late pre-historic' societies were more involved with international trade than previously assumed. These pre-Angkor societies covered much of what is known today as Thailand, southern China, Laos, and southern Vietnam. Ganesha, the Hindu deity revered as the Remover of Obstacles and a God of Success, was held in great importance in terms of everyday existence throughout this region. He was venerated before turning to other gods, thus removing potential obstacles between the worshiper and the divine. In these regions of Southeast Asia, Ganesha had a more independent status than in India, with his images often housed in separate temples as primary icons of worship.Literature comparison: Compare a related sandstone bust of Ganesha, dated 12th-13th century, in the Linden Museum, Stuttgart, accession number SA 36801. Compare a related Baphuon style sandstone figure of a seated Ganesha, dated to the 11th century, from Preah Khan Temple, Siem Reap Province, in the Angkor National Museum, object number C.A.?. 020, N.6849.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's Amsterdam, 8 May 2001, lot 585Price: NLG 41,125 or approx.
