Dancing Yogini
Thailand. Angkor Style, Lopburi period (11th to 15th C). Dancing figures
were commonly
used throughout the
carved stone statues
of the Khmer culture
that created Angkor Wat
in modern Cambodia. These
statues are reproduced in the
style of a particular bronze statue dating
from the Bayon period (twelfth to thirteenth
century). In the original statue a group of these
mystical female dancers caper at the feet of
Hevaraja, an esoteric deity with 16 arms. The
yogini, or dakini, figures were mythic sorceresses
associated with passion, fertility, and other
supernatural powers. These statues are some
of our most compelling images from Southeast
Asia, and one of the most difficult to obtain. The
pose of the dancers are reminiscent of
the dance that creates the world
and stamps out ignorance
by Nataraja.
Bronze Each piece you see here is made individually by our master artisans. The craftsmanship involved creates slight variations in color, finish, size, and shape - a quality we consider to be an added touch of uniqueness. The remarkable detail of our bronze sculptures is due to meticulous and labor-intensive care by Thai craftsmen to produce these unique sculptures of exquisite detail and timeless durability. Buffing, polishing, and patinising give each piece its final green-grey verdigris or bronze luster, which conveys the essence of what we at Eastern Serenity admire in South-East Asian art.
