Item Details
Description
Ca. 18th century example of a 10th century Khmer Varuna, one of the dikplaka, guardians of the cardinal and sub-cardinal directions and the zenith and nadir. His mount is Hamsa, the goose, also the vehicle of Brahma. The perfect carving of the feathers and jewels, the naturalism and grace of the torso and iconic expressiveness of the face are typical of the Pre Rup style.
The casting is beautiful as you can see in the fine details of the face. Each detail is rendered perfectly. The distinctive patina of the piece is also particularly delightful.
This traditional in appearance piece is sure to add serenity to your home, office or sacred space.
One of the most recognisable of the Asian deities this representation of the spiritual teacher Buddha is sure to enlighten your home with endlessly timeless style.
