Head of Shiva, Khmer art, Bayon period, Cambodia, 12th - 13th century Sculpted beige sandstone. Head of Shiva adorned with a high topknot finely incised into stylized braids, held by a pearl ring reminiscent of the jata-mukuta. The face is softly and harmoniously modeled, enlivened by the celebrated Angkorian smile, with regular brow ridges, almond-shaped eyes with prominent lids, a straight nose, and a full mouth. The widely stretched and pierced earlobes underscore the sacred nature of the figure. The surface retains an antique patina in brownish-ochre tones, with traces of dirt and oxidation that attest to its authenticity. Formerly part of a French collection established from 1970 onwards.
