Some may recognize the features of the sovereign Jayavarman VII. One could also imagine that this work was made by a Vietnamese artist who came to Paris and surveyed the rooms of the Guimet Museum. In fact, as an example, we know how much influence the Khmer statuary of the National Museum of Asian Arts had on the artist Vu Cao Dam in the design of his busts.
