拍品描述 翻译
A MASSIVE SANDSTONE FIGURE OF A LION, ANGKOR WAT STYLEKhmer Empire, 12th century. Realistically carved standing tall on its forelimbs, the face with a ferocious expression, open mouth showing teeth and fangs, with flaring nostrils and bulging eyes, framed with the curls of the mane extending to the chest. The stout body richly adorned with foliate ornamental embellishments, all raised on a square base incised with flower heads to the side.Provenance: Galerie Mouhot, Bangkok, Thailand. A private collection in Vienna, Austria, acquired from the above and thence by descent. A copy of a signed and stamped authentication certificate from Galerie Mouhot, confirming the dating above, accompanies this lot. Galerie Mouhot is a gallery specializing in Khmer Art based in River City Bangkok, established by the Frenchman Eric Dieu and named after Henri Mouhot (1826-1861), the mid-19th century naturalist and explorer credited with reintroducing the world to the grandeur of Angkor and the Khmer civilization.Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, obvious losses, signs of weathering and erosion, encrustation, nicks, chips. Dimensions: Height 103 cm (excl. stand), 104.5 (incl. stand)With a modern stand. (2)Throughout the golden age of the Angkor period, the kings built huge cities and temple complexes symbolic of their power and divinity. Guardian lions such as the present lot were placed on terraces and stairways to guard the central pyramidal structure that represented Mount Meru, the residence of the gods at the center of the Hindu world. Lions where not native to Cambodia and the Khmer sculptors devised their own fanciful interpretations. The characteristic full, frontal pose and upright stance lend the figure a composed regal air, while the elaborately carved demonic head and patterned chest shows the Javanese influence so important in Khmer culture.The lion, representing royalty, strength, and courage, was the personal symbol of the Khmer kings, who were believed to be gods as well. Therefore, the lion as guardian of the sacred precinct suggested the ability to ward off evil through both divine and royal protection.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related sandstone figure of a lion, Angkor, 12th-13th century, in the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, object number B76S1. Compare a closely related stone figure of a guardian lion, Thailand, 11th-early 12th century, 109 cm high, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object number 1979.406.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's Amsterdam, 16 December 2003, lot 179Price: EUR 20,315 or approx. EUR 32,500 adjusted for inflation at the time of writing: A large Khmer, Angkor Vat style, sandstone lion, 12th centuryExpert remark: Compare the closely related modeling and manner of carving with similar stance, expression, and size (110 cm). Note the state of preservation.
