EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 7th-8th century sandstone sculpture depicts the Hindu Goddess Durga, a revered deity in Hinduism and a central figure in the epic Ramayana. Durga, meaning 'the invincible,' is a form of the divine mother, represented as the embodiment of power and protection. She is depicted here as Chamundeswari, the slayer of the demon Mahishasura, riding on a lion and holding a trident, discus, conch, and lotus in her four hands. Her eight arms symbolize her eight powers and her multiple faces represent her various aspects. Originating from South or Southeast Asia, likely from Cambodia or India, this masterpiece of Hindu art is now a cherished addition to the South and Southeast Asian Art collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The intricately carved details on the sculpture reveal the skillful craftsmanship of the unknown artist, whose identity remains a mystery. The warm, earthy tones of the sandstone and the serene expression on Durga's face evoke a sense of peace and strength, making this sculpture a powerful reminder of the rich cultural heritage and religious traditions of Asia. The Hindu Goddess Durga continues to be an inspiration and a source of devotion for millions of people around the world, and this ancient sculpture stands as a testament to the enduring power and significance of Hinduism in the world's artistic and spiritual history.
