AN EXTREMELY RARE AND MONUMENTAL SANDSTONE STATUE OF VISHNU, ANGKOR PERIOD

Khmer Empire, 10th-12th century. The Preserver of the Universe standing in samapada on a rectangular base, holding the conch in his one remaining hand, wearing a short pleated sampot, tied at the front below the navel with the folds splayed across the left thigh and secured with a butterfly sash at the back, the extra material folding over at the waist. The serene face sensitively modeled with neatly incised details, such as the almond-shaped eyes, full lips, and wavy mustache. The hair piled up into an elaborate conical chignon secured by a foliate tiara.

Provenance: The collection of Beowulf Klebert. An Austrian private collection, acquired from the above circa 1980 and thence by descent in the same family. Beowulf K. Klebert (1948-2008) was a noted Austrian collector of Asian sculpture and works of art as well a respected contributor to Arts of Asia magazine. He was known for his scholarly expertise and extensive travels through all of Asia.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, signs of weathering and erosion, losses, nicks, scratches, structural cracks, expected old repairs. The stone with a fine, naturally grown, smooth patina overall.
Scientific Analysis Report: An Expert Report from Antiques Analytics – Institute of Scientific Authenticity Testing, test report number AA 21-03064, dated 5 May 2022, written and signed by Dr. R. Neunteufel, analyzing the surface alterations after examination by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and element analysis with attached energy-dispersed X-ray micro element analyzer (EDX), concludes that the observed surface alterations are not in contradiction with the dating above.
