AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large Khmer torso in the Bayon style carved in sandstone.
Its condition is good, but it has a fractured leg. (See photograph).
Measurements: 85, 50 cm
The Bayon temple is a worship complex in the center of the ancient city of Angkor Thom, located in the Angkor region, Cambodia.
Built at the end of the 12th century, it was completed during the reign of Jayavarman VII. It was created in Buddhist style.
The Khmer Empire was the largest empire in Southeast Asia, and its core was roughly equivalent to present-day Cambodia. The empire, which had gained independence from the kingdom of Srivijaya and eventually replaced the kingdom of Chenla, controlled or made vassals of present-day Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Myanmar, and Indonesia. During its formation, the Khmer Empire had very close cultural, political, and commercial ties first with Java and then with Srivijaya, which were located in the south of the empire. Its most important legacy is Angkor, which was the empire's capital during its peak. Angkor stands as the best testament to the empire's power and wealth, as well as the diversity of beliefs that evolved over the centuries. The empire's official religions were Hinduism and Mahayana Buddhism until Theravada Buddhism was adopted after its introduction from Sri Lanka in the 13th century. Modern satellite studies have revealed that Angkor was the largest preindustrial human settlement in the world, larger than modern New York and everything else. The history of Angkor as the center of the historic kingdom of Kambuja is also the history of the Khmer Empire from the 9th to the 15th century.
