Four-Armed Avalokitesvara
Sandstone
四臂觀音菩薩像
柬埔寨
此柬埔寨吳哥時期（約9～15世紀）造像，作一面四臂，依髮髻上的化佛，推測應為觀音造像，在高棉（今柬埔寨）文學上常以「大地之主」稱之。
菩薩面呈橢圓形，杏形雙眼，高鼻豐唇，以一圈大圓珠綰束高髻，髮絲整齊地以縱線條表現，顯得樸實無華。上身較短，雙腿修長，曲線優美。身著貼身的短紗籠，腰帶形式簡單，臍下有一呈鉤狀的結。左腿布褶呈層疊的扇形，右腿則作直線條紋，上有一垂下的細緻腰帶，使得兩側取得平衡。背部的百褶中間裝飾簡單的蝴蝶結。
此像造型典雅、身軀勁健及簡潔的雕刻技法呈現出巴方（Baphuon）造像風格。頭部、頸肩比例自然，整體顯得平滑、寬廣，但由小細節例如膝蓋仍可看出細微變化。此像除了前臂及足部已失，其餘保存完好。
