拍品描述
A LARGE SANDSTONE HEAD OF A MALE DEITY, BAPHUON STYLE, ANGKOR PERIOD
Khmer Empire, 11th century. Well carved with almond-shaped eyes, a ridged brow, broad nose, full lips, and long pendulous earlobes, the chin with a subtle cleft. His finely carved hair pulled up into a chignon and secured with a band sculpted with lotus petals, the topknot surmounted by a lotus finial.

Provenance: Collection of Lucia Muzio, Milan, Italy. A private collector in Milan, Italy, acquired from the above. Collection of Leonardo Vigorelli, Bergamo, acquired from the above. Lucia Muzio was the daughter of the Italian architect Giovanni Muzio (1893-1982), who was closely associated with the Novecento Italiano artists group. A notable project by Muzio was the design of the Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth, completely rebuilt between 1960 and 1969.
Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive weathering, some wear, several losses, minor fissure, dents and a fine natural patina overall.

Dimensions: Height 46 cm (excl. stand) and 55.5 cm (incl. stand)

Mounted on a modern stand. (2)

This superbly detailed sculptural male head epitomizes the finest possible artworks created during the Baphuon period. His enigmatic facial expression shows a faint smile playing around his lips and his hair is finely carved with slender tresses combed backwards, rising into a chignon, and decorated with a flowerhead at the top.

Auction result comparison: Compare a closely related Baphuon-style sandstone head, 19.5 cm high, also dated to the 11th century, at Christie’s Paris in Art d’Asie on 22 June 2016, lot 27, sold for EUR 49,500.
