- Lot Description
Southeast Asia, Khmer Empire, Angkor Wat style, ca. 11th to 12th century CE. A sensual stone carving of a young man with an athletic torso. He is carved standing in the samabhanga position, wearing a short sampot with a double-anchor fold at the front and a pouch fanning across his left thigh. He also wears a belt with a double-oval pattern about the hips, and his torso is bare, with defined pectorals and a slightly rounded belly. He may have once had a cape based on some of the details on the remaining upper arms. The surface of the statue is smoothly polished with sloping contours and elegant craftmanship. Size: 13.5" W x 24" H (34.3 cm x 61 cm); 28" H (71.1 cm) on included custom stand.
The details are remarkable on this figure, especially of his clothing. In the Khmer style, the figure is three-dimensional, suggesting that he was made to be viewed from all angles and perhaps placed in the center of a room. in contrast to pre-Khmer artwork. He has a rich appearance, undoubtedly based on what elite men at the Khmer court would have worn themselves. While this artwork was religious - priests supervised its execution - its realism is unmistakable and some scholars believe that gods and goddesses were portrayed with the features of individual members of the royal court. This sculpture and others like it would have both emphasized the power of the monarchy and given high ranking people joy - after all, who wouldn't want to see themselves portrayed by the finest artisans, compared to a god?
Provenance: private J.H. collection, Beaverton, Oregon, USA, acquired in October 2003; ex-Ken Shores collection, Portland, Oregon, USA
