Khmer Bust Reproduction
Contemporary - stone

Khmer busts are remarkable sculptures dating back to the Khmer Empire (9th-15th century), with their peak during the reign of Angkor. Made primarily of sandstone or bronze, these busts depict deities, kings, and spiritual figures associated with Hinduism and Buddhism, which coexisted in Khmer art and culture.

The paintings depicting Chinese dignitaries from the mid-19th century are significant examples of Qing Dynasty portrait art. These portraits, known as "ancestral portraits," were commissioned to honor and commemorate high-ranking officials and prominent members of society. Characterized by a frontal and static representation of the subject, these paintings emphasize clothing and ornaments, symbols of the dignitary’s rank and social status. The meticulous details of the garments, such as official robes and headpieces, along with the understated backgrounds, reflect the importance attributed to social position and adherence to tradition.

The Biedermeier style emerged in Austria and Germany between 1815 and 1848. While it was undoubtedly influenced by the French Empire style and the English Regency, after the Napoleonic Wars, Biedermeier developed as a movement favoring simplicity and elegance. It is believed that local cabinetmakers, rather than prestigious workshops, created these pieces to cater to the prosperous middle class.

Khmer stone heads are among the most iconic works of sculpture from the Khmer Empire (9th–15th century), renowned for the creation of Angkor Wat and other grand temple complexes in Cambodia. These sculptures often depict Hindu and Buddhist deities, divine kings (Devaraja), and mythological figures, reflecting the art and spirituality of the period.

Today, Khmer stone heads are highly sought after by collectors, and many are preserved in museums worldwide. However, the illicit trade of these artifacts has led to increased efforts in protecting Cambodia's cultural heritage.
