This is a sandstone statue of a seated Vajrapani with arms partially intact. It originated from Banteay Chma, Thmor Puok District, Banteay Meanchey Province. In 1923, it was taken from the temple for registration as part of collection to the National Museum.
Khmer experts determined that it is in the Bayon style of the late 12th or early 13th century, Angkorian period, during the reign of King Jayavarman VII, from the year 1181 to 1218 CE.
In this statue, Vajrapani sits cross legged on a rectangular pedestal. Both hands, the left one broken, appear to be holding an object close to the chest. In this statue, Vajrapani would be holding a Vajara. The face is oval shape, the eyes are closed, while the head is decorated by a three-tiered crown. Although the whole statue is not well polished, it still radiates composure and compassion.
