The immense and richly decorated temple mountain of Baphuon was built by the Khmer people at their capital at Angkor in modern Cambodia between about 1010 and 1080. Both gods and royalty were sculpted in the manner of this serene-faced youth with its smooth rounded body, diaphanous garments, and carefully textured ornaments. In comparison, the other male figure from Angkor in the Baphuon style in the exhibition has a longer torso and more elaborately detailed drapery.
