Product description: Apsaras, also known as celestial dancers, are an integral part of Cambodia's rich cultural heritage and are depicted in the intricate carvings of Angkor Wat and other ancient temples. They are believed to be heavenly nymphs who entertain gods and kings with their captivating dance and charm. Apsara dance is deeply rooted in Cambodian culture, and is referred to as the classical Cambodian ballet held in high esteem across the country.
The bronze Apsara stands in a flowing, graceful pose, evoking a sense of movement and dance. The body of the statue is depicted in a slender, elongated form, adorned with intricate jewelries, like, necklaces, armlets, anklets, and ornate earrings. She is wearing a headdress that is intricately designed, emphasizing an ethereal elegance. The face of the Apsara looks serene with expressive eyes, a finely chiseled nose, and a gentle smile that radiates warmth and kindness, subtly lighting up the face without overpowering it. The hands are depicted in particular gestures, and “Jeeb”, a hand position that is defined by pressing the thumb and forefinger together and fanning the remaining fingers out as seen in the statue, can be used to express different emotions like shyness, laughter, and love. The soft, muted green hues further elevate the statue’s stature, highlighting its details, and enhancing the visual charm of the Apsara. The Apsara statue is a harmonious blend of artistry and cultural symbolism, that captures the beauty and grace of the celestial nymphs.
