A RARE BUFF SANDSTONE HEAD OF AN ASCETIC FORM OF SHIVA, ANGKOR PERIODPublished: C. T. Loo, An Exhibition of the Sculpture of Greater India, New York, 1942, p. 40 and 69, no. 60.Khmer Empire, 11th-13th century. Sensitively carved, the serene face with almond-shaped eyes, gently arched brows, a broad nose, and full pursed lips forming a gentle smile, flanked by ears with distended lobes, and a long goatee. The finely incised chignon is piled behind a foliate tiara secured with a rudraksha necklace, identifying him as a Brahmin ascetic.Provenance: C. T. Loo, New York, by 1942. The William H. and Lily F. Diehl Collection, New York, acquired from the above in 1952, and thence by descent. The back of the neck inscribed with an inventory number, 'TLA 20224'. A copy of an invoice from C. T. Loo, dated 3 April 1952, addressed to Wm. Diehl & Co, and stating a discounted purchase price for the present lot of USD 1,350 or approx. EUR 16,000 (converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing), accompanies this lot. Ching Tsai Loo (1880-1957) was an eminent Chinese art dealer and connoisseur who played a pivotal role in introducing Chinese art and antiquities to the Western world during the early 20th century. In 1902, Loo relocated to Paris, which became the center of his operations and where he established his first gallery, Loo & Co., in 1908. His business expanded to New York, where he opened a gallery on Fifth Avenue in 1927. He became a central figure in the international art market, dealing in Chinese antiquities, including sculptures, ceramics, and bronzes. In 1952, his associate Frank Caro (1904-1980) took over daily operations of the New York business. Until his death in 1957, Loo continued to play a large role in the business. Loo's work profoundly influenced the collections of major Western museums, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Louvre, and the British Museum.Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age. Wear, obvious losses, signs of weathering and erosion.Weight: 19.5 kgDimensions: Height 33.5 cm (excl. stand), 49.5 cm (incl. stand)With an associated marble stand. (2)The present work, with an exceptional early provenance, represents Shiva as an ascetic. As told in the narrative of the Kumarasambhava (Birth of Kumara), Shiva disguised himself as a Brahmin ascetic and went to the forest to interrupt Parvati while she performed penance (tapas). When Shiva reveals himself, he retains the pointed beard which is also depicted in this sculpture.Compare a related sandstone pediment depicting Parvati's Penance, Preah Pithu, Angkor, 13th century, in the Musee Guimet, accession number MG 18912, and illustrated by Helen Ibbitson Jessup and Thierry Zephir in Sculpture of Angkor and Ancient Cambodia: Millennium of Glory, 1997, p. 330-331, cat. no. 112. The relief portrays Parvati to the center performing extreme penance in order to be a worthy bride of Shiva. On her left, dressed as a Brahman ascetic stands a figure trying to attract her attention by reviling Shiva. This irritating ascetic is none other than Shiva himself who is testing the devotion of Parvati. To the right, Shiva reveals himself in his kingly glory and presents himself as Parvati's suitor.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's New York, 22 September 2021, lot 452Price: USD 35,000 or approx. EUR 39,500 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing: A sandstone head of an ascetic form of Shiva, Khmer, Bayon period, 13th centuryExpert remark: Compare the closely related modeling and manner of carving with similar tiara, expression, incised beard, and size (34.9 cm). Note that the lot was published and exhibited by C.T. Loo in An Exhibition of the Sculpture of Greater India, 1942, p. 40 and 69, no. 61, alongside the present lot (no. 60).
