Ta Kream: Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva
CAMBODIA, Battambang, Ta Kream
The Bodhisattva shows the artistic influence of the Srivijaya Empire (circa 7th–13th century), which had a strong presence in Southeast Asia during the 8th century. The influence derives ultimately from Indian models and can be seen in the headdress, the curled braids tumbling to the shoulders, the heavy eyelids, and the oval hollow nimbus. The figure stands on a double lotus pedestal on which the petals are indicated by a double outline. The upper body of the slender figure is bare and the lower body is covered with a skirt secured at the waist with a belt. The Bodhisattva holds a vase in the left hand while the right may have held prayer beads.
