Περιγραφή από τον πωλητή
Matching set of 3 bronze measuring bowls Cambodia, Khmer, Bayon period 12-13th century.
Interesting item for collectors of geometric objects.
Original patina with malachtite and azurite minirals (see picture)
Height 11, 10, 9 Dia 21, 19, 18 cm
These bowls (often mistaking for part of a bell) are water clocks and were probably used to measure time during cockfightings in ancient Angkor.
Not to say with certainty whether they were filled with water or placed on the surface of a larger waterbasin.
Either the water comes in or flows out trough the small hole at the bottom of the bowl.
Time stopped when the bowl had emptied or was sunken to the bottom of the basin.
The different sizes and volumes determined the duration of the fight.
Cockfighting is an ancient spectator sport and common throughout Southeast Asia and in some regions cockfights are practiced in an ancient religious purification ritual to expel evil spirits.
Bas-reliefs of men and their angry cocks are carved into the stone wall of the Bayon temple, bearing witness to the timelessness of this tradition. The expressive gestures and clustered composition highlights the excitement of the spectators and ilustrates everyday life during the Angkor period. The two outermost figures on the left and right seem to be holding the bowl at the ready to start the fight. (see picture).
Bayon Period.
During the Bayon period, Buddhist art is at its height, and Buddhist themes prevail, though Hindu legends are still represented. The style is monumental, aesthetics shows a clear return to realism. Iconography is more varied, sybolism gains in importance and the first scenes of contempory daily life appear on temple walls, formerly reserved only for gods and monarchs. Towards the end of the 12th century portraiture is introduced in Khmer art, showing strong ethnic Khmer pride.
