This is a torso of Lokesvara, made of sandstone. It originated from Banteay Chma temple, Thmor Pouk district, Banteay Meanchey Province. In 1995, it was taken from the temple for preservation at the National Museum of Cambodia, where it was registered into the collection.
Khmer art experts have determined it is in the Bayon style of the late 12th or early 13th century, Angkorian period, during the reign of the King Jayavaraman VII, from the year 1181 to 1218 CE.
The head and all eight forearms are missing from the statue. The torso is large and has a carved Buddha image in the center of the chest and five other at the waistline. It wears Sampot Chang Kben that is tied under the belt, bearing moon flowers decoration. Both feet are large and flat. The toes also have carving Buddha images, which are typical of Bayon style statues.
