A RED SANDSTONE ‘GUARDIAN DEITY’ ANTEFIX, BANTEAY SREI

Khmer Empire, 10th century. Superbly carved with a guardian deity standing in slight tribhanga, one hand supported on the waist and the other clasped around a long staff. The serene face detailed with full lips forming a gentle smile, heavy-lidded eyes under arched brows, and a small broad nose, flanked by ears with pendulous earrings, the wavy hair pulled up into a columnal chignon.

A copy of a signed expertise and appraisal by Bernard Le Gall, Galerie Arts et Civilisations, Quimper, France, dated 10 January 2013, confirming the dating above, and stating the value of the present lot as EUR 12,500 or approx. EUR 15,000 (adjusted for inflation at the time of writing), accompanies this lot.
Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age. Minor wear, some losses, signs of weathering and erosion, few nicks, tiny chips, and natural imperfections.

Weight: 26.3 kg (incl. stand)
Dimensions: 54.5 cm (excl. stand), 59.5 cm (incl. stand)

With an associated metal stand. (2)

Banteay Srei is a 10th century temple dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva and Parvati. It is built largely of red sandstone, a medium that lends itself to the elaborate decorative wall carvings which are still observable today. The buildings themselves are miniature in scale, unusually so, when measured by the standards of Angkorian construction. These factors have made the temple extremely popular with tourists, and have led to it being widely praised as the jewel of Khmer art.

Literature comparison:
Compare a related reddish sandstone antefix with a kneeling guardian, Angkor period, third quarter of the 10th century, 63.5 cm tall, in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 2003.142.
