Stonelove has a large range of Khmer art. Most of our Khmer designs are replicas of carvings found at Angkor Wat and from other temples found in the ancient city of Angkor or Ankor.
Angkor is situated in Cambodia and was built between 802 A.D. and 1220 A.D. by Jayavarman II. It was the capital of the ancient Khmer Empire. The largest of these temples was Angkor Wat built by King Suryavarman II. It honours Vishnu the Hindu God and is a symbolic representation of Hindu cosmology.
Angkor Wat illustrates some of the finest examples of Khmer and Hindu art. It also features the longest continuous bas-relief in the world, which runs along the outer gallery walls, narrating stories from Hindu Mythology.
From Angkor the Khmer kings ruled over their empires that stretched from Vietnam to China to the Bay of Bengal.
Angkor was abandoned in 1432 and rediscovered in 1860 by a French explorer. More than 100 stone temples remain there now, but many of the other buildings that existed when it was a flourishing city, like palaces and house have long since disappeared as they were made from wood.
All of the Khmer art that we carve in stone are exact replicas of the stone statues and sculptures found at Angkor. If you see a design but would like it in another size or stone type, please contact us with your enquiries.
If you have any other Khmer designs that you would like carved in marble or sandstone, please view Custom Orders to view the stone types available and then contact us with your enquiry. |
