From a massive Buddhist temple site in Cambodia, this stunning fragment of a figure likely depicts the goddess Lakshmi. The perfectly proportioned figure, adorned with incredibly fine carved details, is unmistakably characteristic of the Baphuon style prevalent during the 11th century. This breathtaking torso has long been cherished as an exemplary masterpiece and was one of Robert Sainsbury's most treasured possessions.
