The Champa was a confederation of Hindu states located along the coast of the central and Southern region of modern day Vietnam between the 2nd-17th century and flourished alongside the Khmer empire during the 9th-13th century. Sandstone architectural elements, like this head, were common features of Hindu temples as with an example held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (2014.520), that still has a long tang projecting from the back of the head and another deity formerly in the Halphen collection, illustrated by Beurdeley & Cie, Images Divines, Paris 1976, no.14.
