Antique Khmer Style Bronze Bayon Brahma - Hindu God Creation - 42cm/17"
Measurements - H42cm (17")
An antique Khmer style mounted Brahma torso in the style as found within the late 12th and early 13th century Bayon temple, a part of the Angkor Thom complex in Cambodia.
In Hindu mythology, Brahma is one of the principal deities of the Trimurti, along with Vishnu and Shiva. Brahma is the creator god, responsible for the creation of the universe and all beings. Here, he is traditionally depicted with four faces, each facing a cardinal direction, North, South, East and West, symbolizing his all-seeing nature and encompassing wisdom.
The Bayon Brahma sculpture is a remarkable example of Khmer artistry. This representation of Brahma captures the essence of the deity's attributes through intricate carvings and detailed craftsmanship.
The Bayon Brahma is more than just a sculpture; it is a bridge between two great religious traditions and a testament to the cultural richness of the Khmer Empire. Its intricate artistry and profound symbolism offer a glimpse into the spiritual and artistic achievements of one of Southeast Asia's most illustrious civilizations.
As we continue to study and appreciate such artifacts, we gain a deeper understanding of the historical interplay between art, religion, and culture in the ancient world.
The casting is beautiful as you can see in the fine details of each face. Each detail is rendered perfectly. Traditional in appearance, the sculpture will bring serenity and timeless style to your home, office or sacred space.
