Title:
Khmer Sandstone Hindu Deity Figure Ganesha. Angkor Wat 'Baphuon' Style. Cambodia 19/20th C.
Description:
A superb example of Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed deity from Hindu mythology, son of Shiva and Parvati, known as the 'Remover of Obstacles', and god of success and fortune. In Indian mythology, Ganesha is the God of the universal popularity among Hindu's and portrayed as an idol with the body of a man and the head of an elephant, having only one tusk. Ganesha's head is symbolic of the wisdom of the elephant and represents man's eternal striving towards integration with nature.
The deity is modeled in traditional Khmer style, depicted seated bare foot on a rectangular base, holding attributes in each hand, the right holds a club, while the left  holds a bowl of rice flour, which he samples with his trunk.   He is shown unclothed above the waist, exposing his large pot belly practically falling over his garment, wearing a knee-length Sampot, secured by a plain belt tied around his waist.

Ganesha's well-proportioned head is beautifully rendered with a slight tilt, almond shaped eyes, broken tusks, whorled trunk carved in the round, and large ears resting on his shoulders.  His head is covered by a linen cloth bound with a band.
