Antique Khmer Style Bronze Hayagriva Horse of Vishnu - 29cm/12"
Measurements - 29cm/12" (Height)
Antique Khmer style bronze sculpture of Hayagriva or Kalkin.
Kalkin, literally having or being a horse is the future world saviour understood as the tenth avatar of Vishnu, who will return at the end of the next kaliyuga to judge mankind.
He is worshipped as the God of knowledge and wisdom, with a human body and a horse's head. Symbolically, the story represents the triumph of pure knowledge, guided by the hand of God, over the demonic forces of passion and darkness.
Kalki or Kalkin is often referred to as the destroyer of foulness or the destroyer of darkness.
The intricate detail, patina and design of this piece are particularly appealing.

While Thailand is predominantly a Buddhist country, the influence of Hinduism, particularly through the worship of Shiva, has left an indelible mark on the nation’s cultural and religious identity.
From the art and architecture of ancient temples to modern-day rituals and festivals, Shiva’s presence is deeply embedded in Thai society.
