Seated in European position on a multi stepped base ending in a long narrow plinth,
the face with downcast eyes below gently arched eyebrows, flanked by two
elongated ears, the hair in tight curls, surmounted by an ushnisha.

Style of Angkor Borei, Ta Keo region of the Mekong Delta, 7th century.
Angkor Borei was an important early center of Buddhism and Buddhist
temple construction before the establishment of the Khmer Empire. The
present figure is characteristic of Angkor Borei sculpture, as seen in the
subtle protuberance of the ushnisha and the large snail-shell curls.
Sculpture from this early period exhibits the naturalism and grace that
echoes the treatment of the body in Gupta-period India, where
ornamentation is minimized to emphasize the smooth volume of the form.

Extensive wear, some losses and cracks, traces of erosion, minor nicks.

Very good condition considering the high age of this statue.
