Apsaras are female spirits of the clouds and waters in Hindu and Buddhist mythology.  Apsara’s have different names whether you are referring to them in Khmer, Vietnam, Indonesia  or Thailand.  All are youthful, elegant supernatural female beings.

 

This white marble was hand carved in the late 1800s.  I love these historic pieces in stone.   This one is particularly stunning.
For the Serious Collector.
