Though many iconographic elements were adopted from India, Khmer sculptors resisted the exaggerated voluptuous form of Indian female figures. They maintained the subtler figural styles that convey a distinctively Khmer ideal of the female form. This sculpture exemplifies the figural style and mode of dress of the Baphuon sculptures, a royal temple in Angkor built by King Udayadityavarman II (reigned 1050-1066). Since other figures from the Baphuon depict images of or related to Shiva, it is possible to identify this female figure as his wife Parvati.</div>
