Slapende Visjnoe (sculpture (visual works); anoniem; ca. 1100/1150; Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands); AK-MAK-224; RM001.collect.955)

Note: This head of the Hindu god Vishnu is inclined slightly to one side. The figure of which it was once part depicted a sleeping Vishnu. The resting god lay on his side, his head supported by his right hand. This explains the damage to the god's left ear - the point where the head touched the hand. Vishnu wears a pointed crown, beneath which his hair is visible. This feature, along with the full lips and the beardless face, is characteristic of art from the Cambodian temple complex at Angkor Vat.
