There are numerous extant Cambodian images of this configuration because it was the focus of a cult during the reign of the Cambodian king Jayavarman VII, who ruled the Khmer empire from about 1181 to 1218. Although this scene had been depicted earlier in South and Southeast Asian art, it was the Khmer who popularized it. The reasons that Jayavarman chose to stress the Muchilinda Buddha remain speculative. Snakes were associated with healing, and perhaps because Jayavarman may have been lame, he emphasized healing, as indicated by his construction of hospitals throughout the kingdom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;

Writing at a time when Egyptology was emerging as a modern academic discipline, Fechheimer approached Egyptian art not merely as an archaeological curiosity but as a major artistic achievement worthy of serious aesthetic appreciation. Richly illustrated and informed by the latest scholarship of the period, the work examines the development, style, and symbolism of Egyptian sculpture across the dynastic ages. Issued by the distinguished Berlin publisher Bruno Cassirer on the eve of the First World War, this first edition remains an important early contribution to the study of Egyptian art and reflects the growing fascination with ancient Egypt in early twentieth-century Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cem style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eDie Plastik Der Ägypter von Hedwig Fechheimer (The Sculpture of the Egyptians).\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003ePublished by Bruno Cassirer Verlag, Berlin. 1914 first edition.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA very nice example of this excellent work which contains 156 high quality photographic images of Ancient Egyptian sculpture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eA very good (plus) hardback with brown leather spine and corners, with raised bands and gilt titles.
