Antique Khmer Style Sandstone Shiva Linga / Lingnum & Yoni - 57cm/23"
Measures (Height) 57cm/23"
A fine quality antique Khmer-style sandstone linga (lingum or lingam) with yoni, this exceptional sculpture represents one of the most sacred and enduring symbols in Hindu spirituality. Revered as a symbol of fertility, energy, and divine creation, the linga serves as an abstract or aniconic representation of Lord Shiva, encapsulating his boundless power and cosmic potential.
In Hindu philosophy, the linga signifies the unmanifested aspect of Shiva — the infinite source of all existence, beyond form or attribute. Together with the yoni, which forms its base and represents Shakti, the feminine cosmic principle, the union symbolises the interplay of masculine and feminine energies, creation and regeneration, and the harmony that sustains the universe.
This particular example features refined Khmer-style craftsmanship, with balanced proportions and smooth surfaces that express spiritual strength and elegant simplicity. An image of Shiva can be discerned on the Mukhalinga, the sculpted face on the shaft, symbolising the divine presence embodied within the abstract form. The rear of the sculpture bears Sanskrit inscriptions, further attesting to its ritual and cultural significance, likely identifying its sacred dedication or origin.
Carved from solid sandstone, the piece reflects the enduring artistic legacy of the Khmer Empire, whose temples and sculptures celebrated both spiritual devotion and technical mastery. Its texture and softly weathered surface convey centuries of age and reverence.
For safe transit, the linga will be professionally wood-crated and packed for secure worldwide shipping.
Serene yet powerful, this Khmer-style linga with yoni is a timeless embodiment of divine energy, making it an extraordinary focal point for a collection, temple, or sacred space — a tangible connection to the eternal cycle of creation and cosmic balance.
