A FINE BRONZE FIGURE OF GANESHA, KHMER EMPIRE, ANGKOR PERIOD Khmer Empire, late 11th-12th century. Seated in dhyanasana, the pot-bellied deity holding a fragment of a tusk in one hand, and the curling stem of a lotus in the other, richly adorned with jewelry and clad in a short sampot elegantly tied with a butterfly tang to the back. The serene face with a short curling trunk, fanning ears, and wide eyes, the hair arranged in a conical chignon behind the tiara.Provenance: The collection of Dr. Jean Moreaux, Paris. Dr. Jean Moreaux (d. 2012) was an eminent surgeon, member of the Académie de Médecine, and passionate art lover who patiently assembled his collection over several decades and housed in his apartment in Paris's 7th arrondissement. His collection reflects a trained and inquisitive eye, revealing an eclectic taste ranging from Asian art to Italian maiolica, from early works to 18th-century furniture. Condition: Good condition with expected wear and casting irregularities, signs of weathering, scattered nicks and scratches, small losses to tusks and attributes. The bronze with a naturally grown patina with malachite and cuprite encrustations.Weight: 768 g (incl. base) Dimensions: Height 12.6 cm (excl. base), 14.7 cm (incl. base)Mounted on a modern acrylic glass base. (2)God of wisdom and remover of obstacles both visible and invisible, the elephant-headed Ganesha is invoked at the commencement of any new undertaking or journey. As the deity's spirit was thought to reside within its likeness, this small bronze statue would thus constitute a perfect traveling companion, guiding its owner towards wise decisions and safe paths.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's New York, 20 March 2009, lot 1218Price: USD 86,500 or approx.
