EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 14th century print depicts the Hindu Goddess Chamunda, a form of the goddess Durga, known for her fierce and terrifying aspect. The Goddess is shown standing on a corpse, holding a trident, a bowl filled with the elixir of immortality, and a severed head, symbolizing the destruction of evil. Chamunda is often depicted with four arms and a third eye on her forehead, signifying her all-seeing and all-knowing nature. The print is believed to have originated from Nepal, showcasing the rich artistic heritage of South East Asia. The image is made of copper with traces of gilding and paint, intricately inlaid with gemstones, adding to its grandeur and beauty. The use of vibrant colors and intricate details highlights the skill and artistry of the unknown artist. The Goddess Chamunda holds a significant place in Hinduism, particularly in the Tantric tradition, where she is revered as a powerful deity who destroys the inner demons of fear, anger, and ignorance. This print serves as a reminder of the deep spiritual and cultural traditions of South Asia, and the enduring influence of Hinduism on the artistic and religious landscape of the continent. The print is now part of the South and Southeast Asian Art collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The image invites us to reflect on the rich history and diverse artistic traditions of the Hindu world, and the enduring power of the divine feminine in world cultures.
