English: Statue of the so-called "Leper King" in Angkor, Cambodia; actually it is not the image of a king but most likely that of Yama, the Hindu God of Death Deutsch: Statue des "aussätzigen Königs" in Angkor, Kambodscha; tatsächlich ist es nicht das Abbild eines Königs, sondern höchstwahrscheinlich der hinduistische Gott des Todes Yama Français : Le «Roi lépreux». Angkor Thom, Siem Reap. Fin du 8e siècle. Grès gris beige en surface. H. 131 cm; L. 94 cm. Inv. 295. Bibliographie H. Mouhot, 1863: 302-303 ; Boisselier 1955 (SKE), pl. 84-a ; Nadine Dalsheimer, 2001: 180-181 : « La tête porte de larges tresses verticales [...] et un chignon cylindrique [...] dents en forme de crocs [...] » Le corps, assis en aisance royale, est « d'une plastique assez médiocre ». Cette statue « se distingue de la statuaire khmère par le fait exceptionnel de la nudité . » « En marge des images khmères, cette statue traduit peut-être des influences extérieures. » « L'identification de cette ronde-bosse est encore incertaine et les dernières propositions (G. Cœdès, BEFEO 28, 1928 [1], p. 84) s'orientaient vers la figure de Yama. » selon Pierre Baptiste la statue serait datable du 8e siècle : in Pierre Baptiste (dir.) et Thierry Zéphir (dir.) (exposition, musée Guimet, 2013-2014), Angkor, naissance d'un mythe : Louis Delaporte et le Cambodge, Musée des arts asiatiques Guimet : Gallimard, 2013, 299 p., 30 cm (ISBN 978-2-07-014259-0), p. 256. |
