EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite piece of art from the 16th century - an Ewer with Crocodile (Makara) Spout. Crafted by an unknown artist, this masterpiece is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago's Arts of Asia collection. The ewer itself is a testament to the incredible craftsmanship and attention to detail prevalent during this era. Made primarily of brass with copper bands encasing a bamboo core, it boasts a stunning combination of colors that add depth and vibrancy to its overall appearance. What truly sets this ewer apart is its spout, which takes the form of a fearsome crocodile-like creature known as Makara in mythology. This mythical beast symbolizes power and protection, making it both visually striking and culturally significant. Every inch of this metalwork marvel is adorned with intricate decorative elements, including dragons and other mythological creatures that further enhance its allure. The fusion between Tibetan influences and artistic creativity results in a unique blend that captivates viewers even today. As we gaze upon this extraordinary object, we are transported back in time to appreciate not only its beauty but also the rich heritage it represents. It serves as a reminder of the immense talent possessed by artists throughout history who have left behind enduring legacies for us to admire and cherish.
