Description: A superb 11th century hand-carved Khmer Sandstone Male Deity Figure, stylistically and iconographically executed in traditional Baphuon style, from Khmer mythology. The figure is presented in its unrepaired condition as found, elegantly modelled from a solid block of sandstone, measuring 36.50 inches (92.71cm) in height, including the stand.The deity is masterfully modelled in realistic human form, stands in a frontal posture with both arms and legs broken, wearing a short stylized vertical striated sampot hung low about the midriff, with the navel visible, secured by a plain belt, fashioned with neatly incised pocket folds on the left thigh, and complimented by an ornate dagger on the right.XXX The face appears indigenous, typically Khmer, with a serene expression, incised almond-shaped eyes, connected eyebrows above a well-shaped broad nose, wide mouth, and elongated earlobes. The hair is drawn onto the top of the head to form a bulb-shaped Chignon, of looped configuration, held in place by a jeweled band, and topped with a floral rosette.XXX Originally chiseled as a full figured image, the fragmented portion is an exquisite example, unaltered, and professional mounted. The statue reveals a well weathered and worn surface, with a naturally aged patina of molted variations of hues and colour throughout. The surface showing minor degradation, and clear evidence of selective erosion, that developes after extensive exposure to the elements over time. Data Observation: Excellent Condition, with the exception of small surface abrasions. Severed arms and limbs are typically found in images of this type, having multiple breaks from the burial environment in which they were unearthed, which does not detract from the beauty of the piece in anyway, as displayed.
