Khmer art, Ba Phuon style, 11th-12th century AD
Uma
Fine sculpture in the round of a headless goddess. The breast is bare and the tits, brought near, caracterize the
indian archetype. The shape of the thighs and the legs are underlined by a thin and wet-pleated sarong, high on the
back, and knotted under the fleshy belly, around the hips with a belt ornated with a frieze of cartouche-shaped
patterns and falls, in the median part, to form a large-striped pleat ending in fish-tail.
Sand stone. Visible missing parts.
H : 52.8 cm
Provenance:
ex. Mrs T. collection, purchased in the 80's.
