Footnotes

Provenance:
Formerly in the collection of the late Greg A. Fish until 1985 when it was acquired by the present owner.

The Bayon is a temple at Angkor notable for the predominance of historical sculptures, rather than mythological. For a similar figure in the National Museum in Phnom Penh see Madeleine Giteau, Khmer Sculpture, London, p 201.
