Apsara Relief

£2850 In stock

The apsaras or celestial nymphs, are sensuous, graceful females, clothed in sumptuous costumes and wearing elaborate jewels. They adorn the temple walls, most famously at Angkor Wat, and are amongst the most beautiful examples of relief carving. The figures who dance or fly are apsaras, while standing figures are referred to as devatas.

This stunning example is carved in exquisite detail, in pink sandstone, and measures 123cm high x 66cm wide x 10cm deep.

Please be advised that these large sandstone examples are very heavy. We deliver free of charge.
