Angkor Wat: Devotee
CAMBODIA, Siem Reap, Angkor
This statue was originally from Angkor Wat. The youthful figure is carved with simplicity and some individuality. He kneels with palms joined in reverence, wearing an elegant crown carved with complex floral patterns in the distinctive local style. The eyes are slightly opened and the lips in a smile. A carved neck collar adorns the upper body while the skirt has a wide patterned hem. The closed rectangular compartment at the abdomen is believed a place for storing sutras or offerings.
