Antique Khmer Style Bronze Vishnu Torso Statue - Protector & Preserver - 27cm/11"
Measurements - H 27cm/11"
An antique Khmer style mounted bronze Vishnu torso sculpture in the pre-Angkorian 9th century Phnom Da style.
Vishnu is both world protector and preserver, restorer of moral order - he is all-powerful and all-pervasive by nature.
The Vishnu embodies authority with his iconic downcast gaze and unexpressive face. The general silhouette is heavier. The features suggest the prana, or inner breath, that signifies superhuman power.
The casting is beautiful as you can see in the fine details of the face.
Each detail is rendered perfectly.
The diadem is carved simply. Without adornment. The inner rims of the ears are similarly simply sculptured. The lobes complete and hanging low. The face is defined by slightly arched eyebrows, full rimmed lips, open rimmed eyes and a rather broad, flat nose.
The face offers a naturalistic representation of musculature, delicately carved and refined facial features, typical of the Phnom Da style.
The patina and details of this piece are particularly appealing.
The statue is mounted on a wood base.
The perfect traditional in appearance Vishnu to bring serenity and timeless style to you home, office or sacred space.
