Marble quadricephalic head of Brahma - Cambodia - Mid 20th century

Brahma Statue - Khmer Hand Carved Four Faced Bayon Style Brahma Tower or Stupa - Cambodia - Mid 20th Century

A Cambodian Khmer-style stone carving of one of the towers in the Bayon temple bearing four faces looking in the cardinal directions.

Many local Khmer believe they represent the four faces of Prohm (Brahma) carved in the image of Jayavarman VII himself as the Buddhist god-king, while others believe they are a representation of the Buddhist deity, Avalokiteshvara/Lokesvar a.

The Bayon Temple was built in the late 12th or early 13th century with the exact date unknown. It was built well after Angkor Wat by about a century and although it was not the last temple built at Angkor, it was certainly the last of the great state temples to be built.

This hand-carved Cambodian stone sculpture is absolutely stunning, featuring four serene faces set on a base, each beautifully carved.

This representation of Vishnu's consort , is one of the most recognizable deities among the Asian ones.

In excellent condition, with very slight signs of wear due to age. (at least 80 years)
