O soše
A crown and two arms suggest that Royal Female Figure, made in the late eleventh century, represents a royal woman. The sculpture is in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Objects once held in her hands are missing, preventing a firmer identification. Eyes and brows would have carried inlays, perhaps onyx or silver. Gilded ornaments contrast with the dark surface. Most Cambodian stone figures have lost their gold adornment, so this surviving combination gives an idea of their appearance in sanctuaries. On view in gallery 243.
Slovy muzea
The identity of this figure is uncertain, since the objects she held are missing, and no other related sculptures have been located. Since she has only two arms and wears a crown, she is probably a royal woman. Semiprecious stones or metals, such as onyx or silver, would have been inlaid into her eyes and eyebrows, further enlivening her image. The gilded adornments are set off against her dark shining skin to dazzling effect. Most Cambodian stone sculptures have lost their gold jewelry, so this figure gives an accurate impression of how many would have looked when installed in their sanctuaries.
