拍品专文

This work would have likely had a fifth head attached above, identifying the deity as Sadashiva, a tantric manifestation of Shiva. For another representation of the deity in the Bayon style, see H. Jessup, et al., Sculpture of Angkor and Ancient Cambodia: Millenium of Glory, 1997, p. 329, cat. no. 111.
