This print showcases the exquisite sculpture of "The Buddha Gautama Sakyamni (Shih-chia) and attendant divinities" from the Period of Division in 534 CE. Crafted with meticulous detail, this 6th-century Chinese artwork is a testament to the rich heritage and artistic prowess of that era. In this close-up shot, we see the serene figure of Shakyamuni Buddha seated on a stone relief. His hands are gracefully positioned in varadamudra, symbolizing his bestowal of blessings and compassion upon all beings. The intricate carving brings out every delicate feature, capturing both the spiritual essence and human-like qualities of the Buddha. Surrounding him are several attendant divinities, each meticulously carved with their own unique expressions and gestures. These divine beings exemplify devotion and reverence towards Shakyamuni as they accompany him on his spiritual journey. The white background enhances our focus on these remarkable sculptures, allowing us to appreciate their beauty without any distractions. This image serves as a valuable educational resource for those interested in Buddhism or ancient Chinese art history. Displayed at renowned institutions such as the Arthur M Sackler Gallery and Freer Gallery of Art under the Smithsonian Institution's umbrella, this photograph preserves an unknown artist's masterpiece for generations to come. It stands as a testament to humanity's enduring quest for enlightenment through religious expression and serves as a reminder of China's profound cultural contributions throughout history.
