Rare Baphuon Shiva Head, 11th Century
SOLD
26.7 cm without stand, 40.6 cm with high quality metal stand
The extraordinary level of quality displayed in this Shiva probably points to an artist working at the royal court. The surprising treatment of the top of the head, with its high chignon, would at first seem inexplicable. Considerable care has gone into its modeling. The volumes are articulated with precision and great sensitivity, but except for the jeweled hair-ring at the base of the chignon, the surface is smooth and undecorated. The problem of the omission of Shiva’s plaited strands of hair (jatas) is probably due to allow the acceptance of a royal golden tiara or other form of head covering indicative of the status and importance of the sculpture. The eyes, including the vertical one, have been hollowed out to receive inlays, perhaps of a precious material. The technique of inlaying stone is likely a carry-over from bronze sculptures and is periodically encountered on stone sculptures from Cambodia and Thailand.
The expressive face, with its carefully articulated curving moustache, pointed chin-beard, sensitively arched brow, full flaring nostrils and sensual, ridged lips deeply undercut at the edges, all so well composed, shows Cambodian art at its apex. The ears are carved with great care and the interior is scalloped into three sections, a popular Khmer stylization. The fine proportions and quality of carving added to all the above makes this head a highlight of the Baphuon style.
This sculpture was purchase approximately 20 years ago from a reputable antique shop in Bangkok.

This chair was found in an old house in Lancaster, MA. There was a Shaker colony directly to the east of Lancaster in Harvard, MA, and another directly to the north of Lancaster in Shirley, MA. We cannot say that this is definitely a Shaker chair, but it does have a certain characteristics of the Shaker style, with its fairly plain stiles and stretchers. It is most certainly made by hand. There is a certain uneven quality to its construction; the left hand facing rear stile is 45†in height while the right hand facing rear stile is 44 ½†in height; however, the vasiform turnings at the base of the legs are of uniform height. There are hand-made square nails used in its construction.
This is a four (4) slat ladder back arm chair which retains an old stained surface.
It has four back slats which are curved on top and flat on the bottom, indicating a New England origin. The slats are made of oak; the rest of the chair is most probably ash or maple. The rush seat is in useable condition; there are several small areas of broken rush but the seat is still sturdy.
It has shaped arms terminating in round pad hand rests which show plenty of wear.
The stiles are topped with acorn and nipple finials which also display a great deal of wear.
The plain turned double front stretchers also display wear.
The legs terminate in vasiform turnings below the lower stretchers. The front stiles display the same vasiform turnings above the seat rail and below the hand rests.
• Rear stile height is 45â€/44 ½ †from floor.
• Seat height is 16 ½â€.
• Seat width at front is 17â€.
• Seat width at rear is 15 ½â€.
• Seat depth is 14â€.
• Width at top of stiles is 15 ½â€.
• There are 7 stretchers; 2 on each side, two in the front and one at the rear.
• Weight is 13 lbs.
This chair is solid and sturdy; the joints are tight and the rush is serviceable, although broken in several small places. The old stained surface is worn, especially on the arms, the front stretchers and the backs of the slats. There are nicks and scratches on the legs, stiles and slats, expected in a chair approaching 220 years of age.
This chair may be picked up in Boylston, MA. We can arrange for delivery within 100 miles.
Please e-mail for a delivery estimate with your location and particulars.
If shipping is needed, please email for a quote to your destination.
All items are sold "as is". This is an antique piece of furniture; small nicks and scratches are part of the beauty of an antique and are not described unless significant.
Please ask any questions prior to offering to purchase.

Khmer Ekamukhalinga, 8th/9th Century
Size: 11.75 inches high, 5 inches wide, 28 pounds
SOLD: A linga, male phallus, symbolizes Shiva and his role in creation, and is called a Ekamukhalinga when it has a face depicted on its surface. They usually have three parts: the cubic base represents Brahma, an octagonal middle represents Vishnu and a cylindrical section with a rounded top represents Shiva.
Shivaism was the main religion of Cambodia and Shiva was generally represented by his symbol, the linga. This was particularly true of the pre-Angkor period. While the linga in the form of a realistic phallus belonged, for the most part, to the pre-Angkor period, linga with faces (mukhalinga) is an iconographic characteristic that is exclusively pre-Angkorian.
Like anthropomorphic statues, each linga seemingly has its own identity. A king who wanted to become associated with a divinity or reside in that god’s realm after his death erected a linga during his lifetime and gave it a name linking him to Shiva.
The extreme popularity of the cult of the linga in Cambodia reflects the continuation of the animistic worship of rocks and other nature spirits that existed before contact with Indic religions occurred in mainland Southeast Asia. Thus an earlier Cambodian phallic fertility symbol that could inseminate the earth and make it fruitful was blended with Shivaism, resulting in a uniquely Khmer version of the Shiva linga cult.

Pair of Khmer Caparisoned Lions, 10th Century
Lion #1: height 62.2 cm, Lion #2: height 62.5 cm
Condition: Very good, a few minor losses and some deposits from burial
These sandstone sculptures are an impressive and commanding pair of lions (Sanskrit: simhas), carved in the round, their robust modeling and vigorous proportions adding to their expressive presence.
The menacing faces are characterized by grimacing mouths exposing strong teeth, a wide snout and bulging eyes framed by incised lotus leaf motifs. Outfitted with elaborate trappings, an emblem of sovereignty, they are bedecked with multi-sectioned anklets, a rosette collar, raised rosette and lotus pendants
These lions, also referred to as yakshas (Sanskrit for “guardian†or “protectorâ€), sit resolutely on their pedestals, with firmly planted paws, which arise from tense and formidable claws that continue into stout legs. The rear is emphasized by the flicked up tail that runs up the spine, culminating with the tufted tip, which lies upon the thick mane.
Lions, just like Buddhism, made their way to ancient Cambodia by way of India, where they are considered secular and religious symbols of the throne. As king of all beasts, the lion is the symbol of Buddha Shakyamuni, who is also known as the “Lion of the Shakya clanâ€. Iconographically, their primary role is serving as the vehicle or throne for enlightened beings. In the Hindu religion and Khmer culture, the lion is an avatar of Vishnu called Narshima. In this form he killed Hiranyakashipu, a demon that posed as a god and prohibited the veneration of Vishnu. He tears the stomach open of the demon with incredible claws restoring the right of worship to the Hindi people.
A semi-mythological creature to the ancient Khmers, the lion holds an esteemed place in their religions and artistry. Lions act as guardians and protectors of the temples by dressing the entrances, lining the balustrades and flanking the altars of the venerated.
Originally purchased in New York in 1970.
