Title: Bronze Gilt Cambodian Sculpture Rama & Hanuman in Reamker Pose
Description:
This bronze gilt Cambodian sculpture depicts two crowned figures in a dynamic mythological pose, likely representing Rama standing atop the monkey god Hanuman from the Reamker—the Cambodian adaptation of the Ramayana. Both figures hold removable rods symbolizing bows or arrows, and wear ornate, pointed crowns and incised garments adorned with floral scrolls and geometric motifs. Mounted on a rectangular wooden base with metal plates, the sculpture features a verdigris patina and remnant gilding that reflect its age and authenticity. A rare and culturally significant piece, it exemplifies traditional Khmer craftsmanship and holds strong appeal for collectors of Southeast Asian religious and artistic heritage.
Key Features:
Two-figure composition: Rama in archer’s pose atop kneeling Hanuman.
Ornate crowns and incised Khmer-style garments with floral and geometric motifs.
Removable rods representing bows or arrows.
Verdigris patina and partial gilding indicate age and authenticity.
Mounted on a rectangular wooden base with metal plates.
Rare market presence; no exact comparables currently available.
