拍品描述
A BRONZE FIGURE OF VISHNU, ANGKOR PERIOD

Khmer Empire, 13th century. The four-armed deity standing in samabhanga on a circular lotus pedestal with beaded edge, the primary hands lowered and holding a club and a seed, the secondary hands raised and holding a disk and conch, dressed in a short sampot secured with a pendent fishtail sash, richly adorned with beaded jewelry, the details intricately carved. His face with almond-shaped eyes below a thick sinuous brow, his full lips forming a calm smile, framed by pendeloque earrings, the hair arranged in a conical chignon behind the foliate tiara.

Provenance: From the private collection of Darwin Freeman, collected between the 1968-1971, and thence by descent within the same family. Born 1946 in Idaho, USA, Darwin Freeman was a member of the armed forces and later became an avid collector. He met his wife in the mid-1960s, and the pair later relocated to her hometown of Innsbruck, Austria. In 1967, Freeman was drafted into the U.S. Army and served in Germany and Thailand. While he was stationed at the Embassy in Bangkok, between 1969 and 1971, he actively began engaging in the exploration and collection of ancient bronzes and other works of art. Upon completing his duty, Freeman arranged for his collection to be shipped to Austria, where it remained in storage until this day.
Condition: Very good condition with some wear and casting flaws, few small losses, tiny nicks. The bronze with a rich, dark, naturally grown patina with malachite encrustation.
