- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $450**
Southeast Asia, Cambodia, Khmer Empire (Angkor culture), ca. 12th to 13th century CE. A matching and finely preserved pair of cast-bronze palanquin rings used to support a transverse pole that carried the palanquin. Each stirrup-shaped ring has a broad lower body with evidence of an iron pole or attachment as well as a narrow upper body surmounted by a lotus bud representing the ushnisha of Buddha. The lateral terminals showcase upturned lotus buds with frilled petals encircling the bases. Areas of gilding can be seen through the mottled green patina and create a truly opulent example of fine Khmer artistry. Size of each (both are relatively similar): 5.7" W x 6.625" H (14.5 cm x 16.8 cm)
Palanquin rings 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.
