This is a small sand cast bronze bust it is crudely made I really cant tell how old it is the patina all looks original to me. I think it was covered in gold at one time micro traces of it in couple places. It would probably have been a piece local people had in their homes he was a revered leader. It came with some other small Asian bronzes all authentic.Jayavarman VII (ca. 1120–1218) is one of the best known Cambodian “Angkor” leaders, in part because he was able to unite the numerous small, fragmented Khmer Cambodian and Cham kingdoms of the day. He ruled his consolidated Khmer kingdom from 1181–1218, bringing the decentralized Khmer and Cham states together through political and military alliances. Religion, especially India-derived Brahmanism, or “Hinduism,” Mahāyāna Buddhism, and local Cambodian religion, was a key component of Khmer society.
