Description
Sandstone. Old Khmer Empire, Baphuon to Bayon, approx. 11th to 12th cent.
A very succinct embodiment, as the "Eliminator of all Obstacles" and god of wisdom with elephant head and crossed legs shown sitting. His fat belly stands for "prosperity", a tusk is missing (was broken during an argument), hands holding sweets. He is fanning with his ears to separate the chaff (temptation) from grain (valuable). Age weathering. On a black base. HEIGHT (WITHOUT BASE) 15,8 CM
From a Canadian private collection
