  • Deity Statue - Antique Khmer Style Bayon Prajnaparamita Statue / Goddess - 36cm/14"

    Measures (Height) 36cm/14"

    An antique Khmer style Prajnaparamita, devi or Goddess statue in post-Angkor 13th century Bayon style. Prajnaparamita, symbolises the perfection of Wisdom and was considered the mother of all Buddhas.

    A sculpture perfect for those seeking both beauty and wisdom.

    The concept of Prajnaparamita originates from Mahayana Buddhism, where she represents the perfection of wisdom (Prajna) and the ultimate truth. The Prajnaparamita sutras, a collection of Mahayana texts, expound on this profound wisdom, which transcends conventional understanding and leads to enlightenment. In these texts, Prajnaparamita is often personified as a deity, symbolizing the wisdom that goes beyond the mundane to grasp the true nature of reality.

    Here, Prajnaparamita stands samabhanga on a lotus flower pedestal.  The lotus flower represents purity, compassion and the giving of great joy to all. 

    She is clothed in an ornate, long pleated sampot and belt, with a fish tail pleat to the front. This is typical of the Bayon style. 

    Her three tiered head, the first two tiers featuring four cardinal faces, peering left and right, North and South. This demonstrates an omnidirectional awareness and a spirtual capacity to comprehend and understand all realms and dimensions. 

    The figure is beautifully lost wax cast with superb details. The inner rims of the ears are scalloped and three indented beauty lines mark the neck, in traditional Khmer style. 

    In her hands she holds sutra and lotus buds.

    Prajnaparamita was greatly revered by the Khmer during the tenth century and was the only Buddist Goddess praised in contemporary Khmer inscriptions.

    Prajnaparamita, as a deity embodying transcendent wisdom, holds a revered place in Khmer culture and religious practice. Her depiction in art and architecture during the Khmer Empire highlights the cultural and spiritual significance attributed to wisdom and enlightenment.

    The patina and details of this piece are particularly appealing.

    This traditional in appearance piece is sure to add a unique touch to any room of your home or workplace.
