Discover an exceptional collection of Southeast Asian antiquities that reflect centuries of spiritual devotion, artistic refinement, and cultural interconnectedness. From the monumental stone carvings of the Khmer Empire to the graceful bronze Buddhas of Thailand’s Ayutthaya and Lan Na periods, each object reveals the sacred essence and sculptural brilliance of the region.
Our Khmer pieces, dating to the 10th century and originating from the Angkor Wat temple complex, include powerful depictions of Vishnu and Durga—gods rendered in dark sandstone with serene authority and idealized form. These works embody the spiritual cosmology of the Angkorian world, where Hindu deities were enshrined in temples as part of the sacred landscape.
From Thailand, the collection features a wide range of bronze and fire-gilded Buddha figures from the 17th to 19th centuries, including examples from the Ayutthaya and Lan Na kingdoms. Each figure carries symbolic hand gestures (mudras), radiant expressions, and stylistic markers rooted in regional interpretations of Theravāda Buddhism. These pieces were created not merely as decoration, but as conduits of meditative presence and ritual function.
Together, these works demonstrate the sculptural elegance and religious diversity of Southeast Asia—where art served as a medium of transcendence, political authority, and cultural memory. Whether temple guardians or portable devotional objects, each artifact in this collection invites a deeper engagement with the material and spiritual legacy of the region.
