Figure Item Number: B526 from the MOA: University of British Columbia
Description
Sculptured stone head in the form of a meditating Buddha, carved in typical Khmer style.
Narrative
Burnett described this sculptural head in his catalogue list as: "Buddha stone head, from Bayou Temple. About 1200 years old. Anghor Thom, Cambodia". Presumably this is a fragment from a wall relief, from the Bayon, a Khmer Buddhist temple at Angkor. The temple is said to have been built in the late 12th or early 13th century, with later modifications and additions.
