Cambodian Sculptures Selected From The Murray Warner Collection of Oriental Art

When Gertrude Bass (Mrs. Murray) Warner, Donor of the Murray Warner Collection of Oriental Art and first Director of the University's Museum, visited Cambodia in 1924, she won the assistance of adminintrators of the Musee Albert Sarraut at Phnom-Penh in purchasing Cambodian sculptures for the Warner Collection. She had them select for her purchase, under personal supervision of George Groslier, Director of Cambodian Arts, original works representing successive eras in Khmer history and plaster casts made from reliefs in Angkor Wat and the Bayon at Angkor Thorn. She sought further to buy examples of pre-Khmer sculpture but failed because of the rarety of such works.
