Most Bayon statues feature closed eyes with a profound, contemplative expression. Among them, this is a rare piece with open eyes in exceptionally good condition. Looking at the open-eyed Bayon statues housed in various countries, their expressions are full of realism, approaching the pinnacle of beauty. Image 13 is of an open-eyed Bayon Naga Buddha in the Musée Guimet (France). Authentic pieces are often most damaged from the back of the neck or around the abdomen. ✴️Among the large Naga stone statues from India and Angkor that have been in the family's collection for three generations, the expression of the revered face and the carving of the central Naga's teeth are extremely rare and excellent works. Similar to the national museums of Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam, the traces of destruction have been preserved as much as possible, with only minimal repairs (the repaired parts cannot be removed). Authentic Naga Buddha Please consider it. ✴️The estimated value of Angkor stone statues at world auctions is around $20,000 to $25,000 (4 to 5 million yen, including fees), which is a low level, and there are hardly any attractive items. Around $80,000 to $120,000 (15 to 20 million yen) is when you finally think, "Ah, this is nice." Around $250,000 to $600,000 (40 to 100 million yen) is considered the basic line, and from $1,000,000 or more, it is considered to be on par with or superior to the masterpieces of the Musée Guimet, the Bangkok National Museum, and the Phnom Penh National Museum. ✴️Please purchase after careful consideration. No returns. ✴️Appraisals by domestic Buddhist art dealers and antique dealers are superficial and do not reach the level of appraisal, so they are strictly declined. #Christie's #Sotheby's
