Cambodian Khmer Bronze Standing Goddess
Item Details
Description
Southeast Asia, Khmer Empire, ca. 12th century CE. A cast bronze, mold-made votive figure of a devi (also known as a devata or aspara), which means female goddess in Sanskrit. Her features are classically Khmer, with a large headdress, a sampot, and a thick necklace and armbands. In one hand, she holds some kind of small implement. The headdress is topped with a round bun - perhaps her hair is in the style known as bokor, the "hump of the bull", that is known from other Khmer statues. Depictions of devi were made by the Khmer to show the highest level of beauty - her small, round breasts, large eyes and mouth, long earlobes, and youthful body would have all been ideals. Size: 1.55" W x 5" H (3.9 cm x 12.7 cm); 6.45" H (16.4 cm) on included custom stand.
