EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century print depicts Buddha Shakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, in a serene and contemplative seated position. The image, of unknown origin, is believed to have been created in Sri Lanka, a country rich in Buddhist heritage and cultural history. The statue is carved from ivory and intricately painted with vibrant colors, showcasing the masterful artistry of the time. Buddha Shakyamuni is depicted with his hands in the 'dhyana mudra,' a symbolic gesture representing meditation and spiritual focus. His posture is one of deep concentration, reflecting the Buddha's enlightened state of mind. The intricate details of his robes and the delicate embellishments on his headdress add to the beauty and intrigue of this ancient work of art. The statue is a testament to the enduring influence of Buddhism in Asia and beyond, and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us today. This rare and precious piece is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's (LACMA) collection, where it is cherished and preserved for future generations to appreciate and learn from. The statue's intricate details and beautiful color palette continue to captivate visitors, offering a glimpse into the past and a connection to the spiritual traditions that have shaped our world.
