Durga
Not on view
This is one of the oldest Brahmanical sculptures discovered in Cambodia. Although Durga is most often associated in South Asia with her form as the Unconquerable One—the slayer of the buffalo demon Mahisha—here she is in her benign four-armed form, identifiable by her one surviving attribute, the bell. Stylistically, the figure is closely related to the early Vishnus from Takeo Province and probably originated at Angkor Borei.
