This sandstone statue comes from Prasat Thma Dap (Phnom Kulen) in the district of Svay Leu, province of Siem Reap. It was discovered in a rock shelter near Prasat Rup Arak.
It was discovered by Philippe Stern in 1936 as he searched to find possible remnants of the reign of Jayavarman II.
The sculpture, 1.52 m high, retains some of its attributes:
- In the right hands, the lower one holds the earth (disappeared), the top, the disc,
- in the left hands, the lower one holds the club, the top one, the conch.
Vishnu wears a cylindrical miter, characteristic representations of the VI-VIII centuries.
The lobes of the ears are pierced in order to accommodate ornaments, now missing. In the pre-Angkorian art, it is customary to adorn the sculptures of precious metal jewellery.
In style, the work of art announces the Angkorian period, including facial and loincloth "double drop anchor."
Layer Thickness 150 microns. Infill 10%.
