A RARE SANDSTONE FIGURE OF PRAJNAPARAMITA WEARING A 'THREE BUDDHA' CROWN, ANGKOR PERIOD, BAYON STYLE, LATE 12TH-13TH CENTURYKhmer Empire. Superbly carved in a sinuous outline with prominent breasts and a beautifully rounded belly, the hands holding a lotus bud and manuscript, wearing a tightly fitted sampot resting low on the hips, incised with a patchwork design, an overhanging pleat to the top, held up with a floral-banded sash secured with a fishtail knot. Heavily adorned with ornamental jewels.The face with a serene expression, heavy-lidded sinuous eyes centered by a third, gently excavated eye, and wide smiling lips, flanked by elongated earlobes suspending pendeloque earrings, the hair piled up into a three-knot chignon backing three small seated Buddhas behind the flaring foliate tiara.Provenance: From the private collection of Marie Louise Alexienne Vanleew (1929-2024), Belgium, and thence by direct descent to her grandson, the present owner of this lot.Condition: Good condition with expected wear, signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations, obvious losses, old repairs to the right arm, small chips, nicks, scratches.Weight: 19.8 kg (incl. stand)Dimensions: Height 73 cm (excl. stand), 77 cm (incl. stand)This finely sculpted figure is a powerful representation of Prajnaparamita, the Mahayana Buddhist goddess of transcendent wisdom. The iconography is unmistakable, with the figure holding a lotus stem in one hand and a manuscript in the other—both key attributes of Prajnaparamita, who embodies the wisdom of the Prajnaparamita Sutra. The serene expression, inwardly focused gaze, and graceful modeling of the torso align with the aesthetic ideals of Khmer sculpture from the late 12th to early 13th century, a period under the patronage of King Jayavarman VII. The figure's regal yet composed presence reflects the refined artistry of the time and the spiritual aspirations of the era.During Jayavarman VII's reign, the cult of Prajnaparamita held a particularly elevated position within the Mahayana Buddhist court culture of Angkor. Historical inscriptions reveal that the king identified the goddess with his own mother, commissioning a distinguished corpus of cult images in her honor. The present sculpture, with its serene spirituality and exquisite craftsmanship, exemplifies the devotional and artistic ideals that flourished under his patronage. Prajnaparamita's image became a central emblem in the sacred and political landscape of the Khmer Empire, symbolizing divine wisdom and royal legitimacy.The figure's garment consists of a skirt, with a large triangular fold in front, decorated with floral and geometrical ornaments; it is held in place at the waist by a wide jeweled belt. Jean Boisselier, who refers to this long sampot as a sarong, describes it in these terms: "The sarong is no longer made of pleated material, but is decorated with florets familiar from the bas-reliefs of Angkor Wat. The downturned edge has practically disappeared, the borders are defined by a narrow braid, and the front flap is folded over on itself and extends to a triangular point, remarkably like a shark's fin.”Literature comparison: Compare a related sandstone figure of Prajnaparamita with a small Buddha in her crown, dated late 12th-early 13th century, in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, accession number 97.105. Compare a related sandstone figure of Prajnaparamita, Angkor period, late 1100s, formerly in the collection of the Denver Art Museum, accession number 2000.198.
