Bronze Standing Vishnu - 63cm

Height: 63cm | Width: 25cm
 

This is a bronze statue of the standing Hindu god Vishnu. The four-armed deity stands on a low, tiered base. His two upper hands are raised, and his two lower hands are held out to the sides. The specific attributes he holds are not clearly visible, but they are typically the lotus, mace, conch, and discus. He is adorned with a short, pleated lower garment and a beaded sash.
 

The face has a calm, serene expression with a subtle smile and gently downcast eyes. He wears a tall, cylindrical headdress and elaborate earrings.
 

The four arms symbolize Vishnu's divine power and his ability to maintain cosmic order and balance. As the preserver god in the Hindu trinity, his presence represents stability and righteousness. The style, with its robust proportions and serene expression, is characteristic of Khmer art.
 

The surface of the bronze has a dark, rich patina that highlights the graceful form of the figure. This elegant and spiritually significant piece is a beautiful example of Hindu iconography in Southeast Asian art, bringing a sense of divine grace and preservation to any space.
