O soše
Flying dancers tuck up their legs on Frieze with Apsaras, a late twelfth-century panel from Bayon, now in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Bayon was the Khmer empire's principal state temple under Jayavarman VII, whose reign lasted from 1181 to 1218. Conceived to house the divinities worshipped across his territories, it served at different times as a Buddhist or Shaivite sanctuary. The central image changed with its dedication. Such shifts and combinations of deities were common in Cambodian religious practice.
Slovy muzea
Celestial dancers, with their legs drawn up to indicate that they are flying in space, enliven this architectural panel from the Bayon, the main state temple of the Khmer empire. The Bayon was conceived like a pantheon, housing all the divinities worshipped in the territories governed by the Khmer kingdom under King Jayavarman VII, who reigned from 1181 to 1218 across territories in present-day Cambodia and parts of Thailand and Vietnam. At various times in its history, the temple was dedicated to either the Buddha or to the Hindu god Shiva--the central icon in the sanctum was changed accordingly. Ambiguity of sectarian affiliation and the merging and changing of deities was a common occurrence in Cambodian religious practice.
