Southeast Asia, Cambodia, Bayon, Khmer Dynasty, ca. 12th to 13th century CE. Rare bronze statue head of Buddha. Squarish features with his eyes slightly downcast, lips slightly parted, long finials on his earlobes, crown covers his head and down sides and back. The ancient capital of the Khmer people at Angkor, in northwest Cambodia, was once the heart of a large sphere of influence that extended over much of mainland Southeast Asia. Khmer produced masterful achievements in bronzework. Bronze was a preferred medium for giving form to the Hindu and Buddhist divinities worshipped in Angkor and throughout the Khmer empire. The Khmer have always viewed bronze as a noble material, as it connoted prosperity and success in their culture over many centuries. Size: 3"H not including base.
