A KHMER BRONZE BUST OF LOKESHVARA, BAYON STYLE, ANGKOR PERIOD

Khmer Empire, 12th century. The four-armed figure is finely cast with intricate locks that extend down the back of his neck and is surmounted by a high, arched headdress, wearing a crown with a central medallion and a prominent necklace. The deity holds four different attributes, one in each hand.

Provenance: From the collection of René Ronveaux (d. 1991), Belgium, acquired in the 1960s and thence by descent in the same family. A copy of a provenance statement, written and signed by the previous owner, dated 8 December 2022, confirming the provenance stated above, accompanies this lot.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Signs of wear and weathering, corrosion, soil remnants, cracks, dents and losses. The bronze is covered overall in a fine, naturally grown patina with malachite encrustations.

Weight: 1,698 g
Dimensions: Height 27 cm



Mounted on a metal stand. (2)

Auction: Christie’s New York, 21 September 2007, lot 366
Price: USD 21,250 or approx. EUR 29,500 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing
Description: A bronze figure of Lokeshvara, 13th century
Expert remark: Note the similar position of the arms and various implements he holds. Note the size (26.3 cm) and the fact that while this is an entire figure, the present lot – if the entire figure had been preserved – would have roughly double the size of this comparison.

Update 25.9.2023: A noted expert and colleague has informed us that there is a possibility that the present lot is pre-angkorian and should be dated accordingly e.g. 8th-9th century. Specifically the hair locks show some iconographical simliarity to certain sandstone figures from phnom da.
