AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
a kneeling worshiper or temple guardian rendered in the traditional Khmer style from Cambodia. This kind of statue was historically placed in temples to show respect or to guard the sacred space
The statue wears a richly adorned, pointed crown (mukuta) and a detailed neck collar, which is characteristic of the lavish dress from the height of the Khmer Empire. Posture & Mudra: The figure is depicted in a kneeling position. Although the forearms and hands are unfortunately broken, such statues originally often held their hands in a praying or greeting gesture (Anjali mudra or Namaste), or carried an offering bowl
The statue is hand-carved from wood and shows authentic signs of age, including traces of polychrome paint and gilding that have largely faded over the centuries.
Handmade
There are visible damages, cracks, wear, and loss of finish.
Carefully packed and insured shipping.
