Fine 10th C. Thai Redstone Temple Carving - Elephant

Item Details

Description

Southeast Asia, Thailand, ca. 10th to 11th centuries CE. An amazing red stone relief from a temple, showing an elephant being ridden by some kind of simian/human figure perched on its back. Another simian figure crouches behind the elephant. They stand underneath an archway decorated in three intricate levels. Elaborate relief Thai temple carvings are a tradition that dates back at least as far as the 7th century, to the pre-Angkor period; they seem to have decorated nearly every visible surface with these beautiful and creative images. Here, the elephant has an artistic design, with attention to detail, including textured marks that give the skin a rough appearance. The monkey's body, in particular, shows the ability of the Thai artisans to carve sinuous forms. Comes with custom stand. Size: 21" W x 17.75" H (53.3 cm x 45.1 cm) **Please Inquire for Shipping Charges before bidding/purchasing**
