EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Seated Buddha figurine dates back to the 13th-14th century and is an outstanding example of Korean Buddhist art from this period. The statue, made of cast silver with intricate gilding, showcases the masterful craftsmanship of the unknown artist. The Buddha is depicted in a meditative posture, with his hands delicately placed in the "dhyana mudra," a symbolic gesture representing concentration and mindfulness. The statue's serene expression and tranquil demeanor convey a profound sense of peace and spiritual enlightenment. The Seated Buddha was likely used as a personal devotional object or as an ornament in a temple or monastery. The use of precious metals in the creation of such figurines was a common practice in Korean Buddhism, reflecting the deep reverence and devotion towards the Buddha and his teachings. This Seated Buddha figurine is a valuable addition to the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Korean art and its significant contribution to the development of Buddhism in East Asia. The statue's intricate details, vibrant colors, and striking posture make it a captivating work of art that continues to inspire and intrigue viewers, inviting them to reflect on the enduring legacy of Buddhism and its profound impact on human spirituality.
