EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sculpture of Shiva, dating back to the late 12th century in Danang province, Vietnam. Crafted from grey sandstone by the talented artisans of the Champa Civilization, this stone carving is now housed at the Cham Museum in Danang. Despite its fragmented and headless state, this statue exudes an undeniable aura of divinity and power. Shiva sits cross-legged in a meditative pose, adorned with intricate jewelry that highlights his status as a deity. Every detail on this ancient masterpiece has been meticulously carved, showcasing the immense skill and artistry of its creators. As the god of destruction in Hinduism, Shiva holds great significance within Southeast Asian culture. The broken nature of this sculpture only adds to its mystique and allure. Its missing head leaves room for interpretation and invites viewers to contemplate the deeper meaning behind this representation. The photograph beautifully captures every aspect of this extraordinary artwork - from its detailed sampot (traditional Vietnamese garment) to its serene expression. It serves as a testament to both the rich cultural heritage of Vietnam and the enduring legacy left behind by civilizations long gone. Bridgeman Images presents us with yet another stunning piece from their fine art collection – a visual feast that transports us back in time while celebrating human creativity throughout history.
