EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sculpture known as Brahma, originating from the 13th-14th century AD in Danang province, Vietnam. Crafted out of sandstone by the skilled artisans of the Champa Civilization, this piece is housed in the Cham Museum in Danang. The sculpture depicts Brahma, a prominent deity in Hinduism and one of the three major gods alongside Vishnu and Shiva. With its intricate carving and exquisite detail, this artwork exemplifies the Thap Mam style prevalent during that era. Brahma is depicted with four heads symbolizing his vast knowledge and wisdom. In each hand, he holds a weapon representing his divine power as well as his role as the creator of all existence. The artist's mastery is evident through their ability to capture both physical attributes and spiritual essence within this stone relief. As we gaze upon this ancient masterpiece, we are transported back in time to an era steeped in religious devotion and mythological beliefs. The presence of Brahma reminds us of humanity's enduring fascination with deities and our quest for understanding life's mysteries. Through this photograph captured by Stefano Baldini, we are granted a glimpse into Southeast Asia's rich cultural heritage while also appreciating the artistic brilliance behind such masterpieces. Let us cherish these relics from history that continue to inspire awe and reverence even today.
