- Lot Description
Southeast Asia, Cambodia, Khmer Empire (Angkor culture), ca. 12th to 14th century CE. A fantastic cast bronze statuette of a devi (also known as a devata or aspara), which means female goddess in Sanskrit, standing and holding attributes in each hand. She wears a skirt (a traditional article of Khmer clothing known as a sampot) with tight pleats and a thick belt rendered in ornate fashion with floral and decorative motifs providing the impression of embroidery and beadwork, as well as a large, elaborate necklace, armlets, bracelets, earrings, and a headdress topped with a round bun - this hairstyle possibly referred to as bokor (meaning the "hump of the bull"). Her face is classically Khmer, expressive and sensual, with pronounced features, and every detail of her clothing and ornament is extensively detailed. Depictions of devi were made by the Khmer to represent the highest level of beauty; this figure's petite, round breasts, large eyes and mouth, long earlobes, and youthful body reflected the ideals of Khmer beauty. Size: 2.125" W x 7.25" H (5.4 cm x 18.4 cm); 9.25" H (23.5 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: ex-private California, USA collection, acquired from Anna Art Gallery in the 1990s
