Description
This is a rare antique Cambodian bronze statue of a dancing Apsara. It measures 20.3 cm (8 in) tall from base bottom to headdress top. Statue is 17.8 cm (7 in) tall x 8.7 cm (3 1/2 in) wide at the arms, 2.5 cm (1 in) deep at the hips and has a base of 2.8 cm (1 1/8 in) tall x 3.5 cm (1 3/8 in) wide at the bottom and 2.7 cm (1.1 in) wide at the top of the base. It weighs 350 gr (12.3 oz).Apsara's are celestial female beings who descend from Indra's heaven to entertain kings and gods with their graceful dancing. They are also associated with clouds and water in Hindu and Buddhist culture. I have partnered with an American friend living in Thailand to make this and other collectible antique pieces available. He has spent most of his adult life living and working in Nepal and Thailand, while also traveling frequently to Burma, India, and Cambodia, and has amassed an incredible collection of these and other hand made antique wares over the last 40 years. None of his relatives have any interest in the items, so he has asked me to help find them new homes with those who will appreciate their beauty, artistic value, and intricate workmanship.
PLEASE NOTE: This item will be safely and securely shipped free of charge from Thailand by the owner via EMS (an average of 5-7 business days in transit). Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Thanks for shopping :)
