Vishnu

Vishnu is one of the most important divine forms of Hinduism and shows himself in a variety of manifestations. His avatars include Rama and Krishna. In addition, Vishnu is part of the Trimurti, a union of the three cosmic functions of creation, maintenance and destruction, which is illustrated by Vishnu (maintenance), Brahma (creation) and Shiva (destruction). Common attributes of Vishnu include the Wheel of Dharma (chakra), the conch (sankha), the lotus (padma) as a symbol of wisdom and purity, and the mace (gada).

Khmer

The Kingdom of Khmer, also called Angkor Empire, is now known as Cambodia and was one of the major empires in Southeast Asia. The greatest legacy of the Empire is Angkor, which was then the capital, with its majestic sights. It illustrates the immense power and wealth at that time and still impresses by its art, culture and architecture. The beginning of the Khmer Empire dates back to around 802 AD under the ruler Jayavarman II and ended with the fall of Angkor in the 15th century.

Condition: The sandstone figure is in fair condition consistent with age. The crown has been restored. The height measures c. 163 cm.
