Khmer Stele Frieze depicting Standing Dvarapala, 10th Century
SOLD
Dimensions: height 92.2 cm, width 45.7 cm, depth 13.5 cm
An impressive large sandstone frieze in very high relief depicting a Dvarapala guardian standing elevated on a small leaf-decorated plinth within a highly ornamented arched architectural frame. The Dvarapala is seen frontally, while his right hand is held up balancing a lance that is standing on the ground and facing up, and his lowered left hand holds a large lotus bud of a blue lotus.
The Dvarapala’s face is that of a young male, with a benign expression. The beard lines were carefully incised, as well as the outlines of his eyes. The elongated earlobes and the three incised rings around his neck reveal the Dvarapala’s divinity. His neatly plaited tresses, represented by carefully incised striations, are swept up and the strands have been arranged into a chignon.
The fingernails, toenails, chest and navel are delicately defined with incisions. The elaborate sampot flows in sinuous folds and is secured around the waist with a wide belt.
Just above the head hangs an umbrella, suspended from the lower scalloped edge of the arch under which the Dvarapala stands. The arch is ornamented with intricate vine and foliage scrolls. The arch rests upon two square pillars that have capitals and bases decorated with two bands of overlapping palm leaf motif. Both the pillars and the wide ledge on the bottom upon which the pillars and the plinth rest are adorned with an incised flower pattern.
Dvarapala guardians are protectors of the Hindu god Shiva and both the lance and the blue lotus are attributes of Shiva. They are somewhat rare in Khmer art, as Apsaras appear more often as temple guardians or exterior figures.
Originally purchased in New York in 1970.

Antique English small mahogany desk or sofa table, imported from England and dating back to the late Victorian era, C.1880.
There are 2 large drawers over 2 small drawers to the front, creating a small knee hole. Each drawer has what looks to be the original wooden knobs and the wood grain on the front has developed a wonderful patina.
It stands on 4 beautifully turned legs terminating in white porcelain casters.
There is some minor wear throughout and some splitting on the sides due to climate change causing movement in the wood. I have tried to show as much as possible in the pictures and as you can see it is still a beautiful piece of old English furniture.
Over all this piece is in solid, sturdy condition with minor age appropriate flaws.
Dimensions: width 47 1/2", depth 19 1/2", desk top height 27 1/4", total height 29 3/4".

Khmer Pre-Angkor Stone Ganesha
Height: 33.7 cm
Ganesha was an important god in Southeast Asia; he is the Hindu elephant-headed son of Shiva and Parvati. As a deity who removes obstacles, Ganesha is a god of success; in this sense, he is a deity that has great importance in terms of everyday existence. He was venerated before turning to other gods, thus removing potential obstacles between the worshipper and the divine. In Southeast Asia, Ganesha had a more independent status than in India; his images were often housed in separate temples as primary icons of worship.
The vehicle of this enormous creature is the rat, implying the fusion of the great and small, a duality of macro- and microcosm that is also inherent in the combination of the elephant’s great strength with the intelligence of man.
The absence of a headdress and any arm or belt ornamentation indicates a pre-Angkor period. The well-proportioned head is beautifully modeled and details are still clearly visible. In his left hand he holds a bowl of sweets that he enjoys, his trunk dipping into the treat, and in his right hand he holds the broken-off tusk. Ganesha’s remaining tusk is intact but the natural fracture of the stone can be seen and follows a similar natural fracture in the trunk. The sculpture is in excellent condition and has had no repair.
