Part of a relief in beige sandstone

CAMBODIA - 12th century

Estimate : 1 000 - 1 500 €

Sold 1 200 €

Part of a relief in beige sandstone probably depicting the god Krishna with his right arm raised, holding a club in his hand, topped by three shells of erect hair, which seem to characterize the god Krishna who inherited the form of Visnu in the episodes of the Mahabarata. This iconography no doubt evokes the episode in which Krishna, or his brother Balarama, leaps into the air to strike the Kaurava Duryodhana, both combatants wielding clubs.
