- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $400**
Ancient Southeast Asia, Cambodia, Khmer Dynasty (Angkor culture), ca. 12th to 13th century CE. A lovely pair of matching ferrous bronze palanquin hooks covered in finely modeled lotus flowers. The top of each loop has a blooming lotus flower representative of the ushnisha of Buddha with additional flowers flanking each side. The loops themselves are supported atop the backs of petite, abstract simian figures in crouching positions and with serrated tails that extend out in front of their bodies and terminate with conical lotus buds. Mottled layers of green, brown, and citrine patina have developed across each palanquin hook and imbue them with an attractive presentation evocative of the resplendent Khmer Empire! Size of each (both are relatively similar): 1.8" W x 4.125" H (4.6 cm x 10.5 cm)
Palanquin hooks were an essential part of the wooden and wicker palanquins that were the primary mode of transport for royal and elite people in 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 casters is evident in these examples; note their ornate decoration despite their heavy use.
Provenance: private southern California, USA collection, acquired before 2000
