Masterpiece: The Hindu Deities Shiva and Parvati

Apart from their damaged limbs, these 1,000-year-old Cambodian sculptures survive in excellent condition, and the fact that they have remained together makes them rare. These statues would have been in the inner sanctuary of a Hindu temple, a huge stone complex built up like a step pyramid, with the sanctuary at the top. Images of Shiva acting out his power in the world might be found on the outside of an ancient Cambodian temple, but inside the temple the deity would be shown standing upright and still, conveying a sense of resolute calm to all who gazed upon him.

"Despite their damaged limbs, these 1,000 year old sculptures are masterworks because they survived as a pair. They are examples of the incredible sculptures created in Cambodia 🇰🇭 at that time." 💯
