Carved Khmer Figurine, Apsara Dancer, Unvarnished
This hand-carved, table top statue of an Apsara dancer has superb details as exemplified in the finely carved headdress and depiction of the length and flexibility of the limbs so appreciated in this Cambodian performance style. The figurine is 12 inches tall, 5-6 inches wide, and 1.5 inches deep. The piece is unvarnished teak wood and one can see the tool marks in the crevices of the piece that show it to be hand made.
The piece is in good condition without chips, breaks or cracks. There are faint marks on the wood that are either water stains, or whorls in the grain of wood, on the right thigh and on the neck.
This piece makes a lovely decorative addition to a shelf, sill, or mantle. It could be painted or stained easily to match decor.
