Khmer Bronze Brahma Statue Cambodia
-
Description
A cast bronze statue of Hindu god Brahma on wood stand in the style of Khmer Angkor Kingdom (nowadays Cambodia). The omnipresent god of creation and ancestor of all universe is depicted with five heads and ten arms, each holding a tribute. Each head of the statue wears a typical diadem with topknots. Brahma’s skirt-cloth (sampot) is elaborately tied and with an open flower pinned to the center both front and back. The sculpture is cast in the style of Ankor period circa 11-12th century but it is an estate find from a deceased collector in US and there wasn't any documents available so are not certain of its exact age, therefore it is priced as a later cast from 19th century post discovery of Angkor Wat.
