- Lot Description
Southeast Asia, Thailand, Cambodia, and South Vietnam, Khmer Empire (Angkor culture), ca. 11th to 13th century CE. A wonderful set of six bronze palanquin fittings cast via the lost wax technique. First are two cylindrical handles with curved profiles, openwork attachment slots on the bottom, and petaloid top projections surmounted with petite diamond-shaped symbols. Second are two hefty hooks with lotus flowers topping the broad circular slots and abstract zoomorphs constituting the curved hook portions. Last are two loop handles with bulbous triangular profiles, crescent-shaped midsections, and petite lotus flowers surmounting the narrow top portions. Each component is enveloped in thick layers of green patina that give them a distinguished presentation. Size of largest (cylindrical handles): 7.75" L x 2.625" W (19.7 cm x 6.7 cm)
Palanquin hooks were an essential part of the wooden and wicker palanquins that were the primary mode of transportation for royal and elite members of Khmer society. These decorative hooks were used to suspend the palanquin from the transverse pole used to carry it. The technical skill and artistry of Khmer bronze-smiths is evident in these examples based on the remaining ornate decorations despite heavy use.
Provenance: private southern California, USA collection, acquired before 2000
