Standing Khmer Warrior Deity

Height: 83cm  Width: 31cm

This is a standing male figure, cast in bronze, with a height of 83 cm and a width of 31 cm. The statue has a powerful and assertive expression, with wide-open eyes and a subtle grin, and is depicted in a dynamic, forward-facing stance. He holds a short, stylized sword in his right hand, and his left hand is extended forward in a gesture of command or offering. The figure is heavily adorned with intricate details, including a detailed headdress, necklaces, armbands, and a decorated loincloth (sampot) that is pleated and held by an ornate belt. A sash or stylized "tail" hangs from the belt. The piece shows a rich, dark patina. The style, especially the facial features, robust build, and elaborate ornamentation, is characteristic of Khmer art, likely representing a deity, a guardian figure (Dvarapala), or a hero from Hindu mythology, such as Vishnu or a king in deified form.
