Excellent detective work by Thon Varathana has tracked down the head of Vishnu I posted earlier today -B

Update: Excellent detective work by Thon Varathana has tracked down the head of Vishnu I posted earlier today, as being one of the 100+ artifacts stolen from the Angkor Conservation Depot (DCA) in Siem Reap and it appeared in the re-published 1997 version of the book, One Hundred Missing Objects: Looting in Angkor. It was originally found, with the whole body, in 1937 in the temple of Prasat Neak Ta, one of the temples on Phnom Kulen and moved to the Angkor Conservation for safety. A series of sculptures were stolen from DCA in the turbulent times of the 1970s, as well as two armed raids in the early 1990s. The book editors, Wolfgang Felten and Martin Lerner must know of the whereabouts of the Vishnu head, and let’s hope it finds its way back to Cambodia sometime soon. Text: A fine head of the Hindu god Vishnu is the next previously unpublished artifact from the book, Thai and Cambodian Sculpture from the 6th to 14th Centuries, from authors Wolfgang Felten and Martin Lerner, which came out in English in 1989. Of 41 artifacts in stone and bronze, the authors took only two from museums, the remainder all came from unidentified private collections. That means, both the current whereabouts and the original temple home of this beautiful sculpture are not known (* now known to be Prasat Neak Ta on Phnom Kulen). The head is dated by the authors to the third quarter of the 11th century, the Baphuon art style period and has a particularly notable six registers on the diadem and a youthful face.Credit By :Andy Brouwer
