Featuring beaded bands around his neck and arms. It has a wonderful weathered patina that built up over many years yet still showing the defining features. Some old repairs, in a structurally sound and sturdy condition. Circa 1800.

The Khmer Empire (also known as Kambujadesa) was located in Southeast Asia on the Indochinese Peninsula. It comprised modern-day Cambodia and much of Vietnam, Thailand, and Laos. Often considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Angkor Wat is located within the Khmer Empire's capital of Angkor (the spiritual heart of the once mighty Khmer Empire), located just north of the central Tonlé Sap Lako
