This hub is for 3D models of objects held in museums anywhere in the world. The seven listed here are Khmer sculptures in the Cleveland Museum of Art, made between about 600 and the 1200s. Three of them are carved in sandstone and show Hindu gods. Krishna Lifting Mount Govardhan, of about 600, is one of eight monumental figures recovered from Phnom Da, a two-peaked hill near the ancient city of Angkor Borei.[1] A Vishnu of 650 to 700 wears the high, flat-topped crown of figures made at Prasat Andet.[2] A male deity of 925 to 950 is carved in the Koh Ker-Khleong style.[3]

The other four date from the 1000s to the 1200s. A bronze kneeling figure of the Baphuon period, 1010 to 1080, shows a devotee of Shiva with his hands raised in adoration.[4] The rest are Buddhist works of the 1100s and 1200s, which the museum ties to the reign of Jayavarman VII and his temple at Banteay Chhmar.[5][6][7] Two are bronzes: the Buddha seated on a naga (serpent)[5] and Vajrasattva, holding the vajra and bell of tantric ritual.[6] The third is a conch shell, blown at the start of rituals, whose bronze mount shows the dancing Hevajra.[7]
