EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century Buddha figure, estimated to be from South or Southeast Asia, showcases the rich artistic heritage of the region. The seated Buddha, with a serene expression and intricately detailed robes, is made of copper alloy inlaid with crystal and obsidian. The use of precious materials underscores the reverence and devotion held towards the enlightened one. The exact origin of this masterpiece is unknown, but it is believed to date back to the late 1800s. Its intricate design and exquisite craftsmanship suggest that it was created for a devout Buddhist community in Thailand or Laos. The Buddha's posture, with his legs crossed in the full lotus position, is a common representation of the enlightened one in Buddhist art. The figure's calm and meditative expression invites contemplation and reflection, making it a powerful symbol of peace and wisdom. This Buddha figure is now a cherished addition to the South and Southeast Asian Art collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions that have shaped the history of Asia and continue to inspire us today. The 19th century was a period of significant artistic development in South and Southeast Asia, and this Buddha figure is a testament to the creativity and skill of the artists of the time. Its preservation in a museum ensures that future generations can continue to learn from and be inspired by this beautiful work of art.
