Seated Crowned Buddha c. 11th century

This bronze sculpture of a seated Buddha, dating back to the 11th century, is a remarkable example of Khmer art. The Buddha is depicted in a meditative pose, adorned with elaborate jewelry and a tall, pointed crown. The serene expression on the Buddha's face and the intricate details of the sculpture reflect the artistic sophistication of the Khmer civilization.
