Antique 15th Century Bronze fragment of Maya Devi Khmer Style Buddhism

Antique  15th Century Bronze fragment of Maya Devi Khmer Style Buddhism Hinduism

An antique Khmer style bronze Head Fragment of Maya Devi in the Angkor Wat style, on black, plastic or acrylic stand. I assume that this is an image of Maya Devi because of the particular tri-point crown that she usually wears.

Maya Devi was the queen of Shakya and the birth mother of Gautama Buddha, the sage on whose teachings Buddhism was founded. She was the wife of Śuddhodana, the king of the Shakya kingdom.  In Buddhist tradition, Maya died soon after the birth of Buddha, generally said to be seven days afterwards, and came to life again in a Buddhist heaven, a pattern that is said to be followed in the births of all Buddhas. Thus Maya did not raise her son who was instead raised by his maternal aunt Mahapajapati Gotami. Maya would, however, on occasion descend from Heaven to give advice to her son.
