A LARGE BRONZE FIGURE OF SADASHIVA, ANGKOR PERIOD, BAYON STYLE

Exhibited:
Los Angeles County Museum of Art, USA, according to the expertise from Jacques Barrère Art D’Extrême Orient, dated 9 July 2001.

Khmer Empire, late 12th to early 13th century. Standing on a small square plinth in sampada with his arms radiating around him, the five-headed deity is clad in a short sampot with fishtail pleat and jeweled sash, to the back a flared tang. The body finely ornamented in jewelry, including a collar necklace, bracelets, armbands, earrings, and an ornate diadem. The five faces finely cast with almond-shaped eyes, an aquiline nose, an urna, and full lips.

Provenance: Former Pan Asian Collection. Jacques Barrère, Paris, France, acquired from the above. A copy of a signed expertise from Jacques Barrère Art D’Extrême Orient, dated 9 July 2001, confirming the dating and provenance above, accompanies this lot. The expertise also states a ‘replacement value’ of 170,000 FF or EUR 37,500, converted and adjusted for inflation. The Jacques Barrère Gallery is located in the heart of Paris, in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district. Since 1969, it has held exhibitions to promote and preserve Far-Eastern art. The gallery specializes in Chinese sculpture, archaeology, ceramics and decorative arts, as well as Japanese works of art and porcelain. Statuary art from Gandhara, India or South-East Asia is also regularly displayed. Objects once owned by Barrère are now in major museums around the world, including the Guimet, the Cernuschi, and the Shanghai Museum. The Barrère gallery is a regular exhibitor at TEFAF in Maastricht.
Condition: Excellent condition, commensurate with age. There is extensive wear, some casting flaws, minor losses, signs of weathering and erosion, small nicks and shallow surface scratches, all as expected from a Khmer bronze of nearly 1,000 years of age. Faint remnants of gilt.

Weight: 3,557 g
Dimensions: Height 38.8 cm

Five-headed images of Shiva appear in Khmer Art from the tenth century onwards. This Bayon period bronze of the late twelfth to early thirteenth centuries represents the god in his form as either Sadashiva or Mahesha. Indian texts state that the highest principle of Shiva is transcendent and without form. Sadashiva is considered to represent the god as he begins to assume form in the material world. When fully manifested in the physical world, Shiva is considered as Mahesha. These two forms are characterized by five heads arranged in two tiers, four facing the cardinal directions and the fifth on top, and ten arms each holding an attribute. The primary face is marked with Shiva’s characteristic third eye.

The five faces are believed to represent earth, water, fire, wind, and sky, or - alternatively - violence (south face), maternity (north face), joy (west face), union (east face), and benevolence (face on top of the head). Sadashiva, a name particularly given to the five-faced and ten-armed Shiva, also directly refers to the benevolence on top of the head. It was introduced from India to the Khmer kingdom in the ninth century during the reign of Jayavarman II.

Shaivism was the most prevalent sect of Hinduism and was sponsored by numerous Angkorian kings over the centuries. A well-developed sculptural tradition based around this sect consequently arose and Shiva was depicted in many forms varying from the aniconic linga to large scale images in the round. Five-headed images of Shiva such as this example were executed in both stone and bronze and represent one of the more unique depictions of the deity.
