    Description

    This is a rare antique Cambodian bronze statue of a standing Apsara with devotional offerings to the Gods or king.  It measures 29.8 cm (11.75 in ) tall from base bottom to headdress top. Statue is 25.3 cm ( 10 in) tall x 9.5 cm ( 3 7/8 in ) wide at the side dress parts, 5 cm ( 2 in ) deep and has a base of 4.5 cm ( 1 3/4 in) tall x 6.0 cm ( 2 1/4 in) wide at the bottom and 4.5 cm ( 1 3/4 in) wide at the top of the base. It weighs 1130 gr (1 lb. 9 oz).
    Apsara's are celestial female beings who descend from Indra's heaven to entertain gods and kings 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 :)
