EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an ancient Hindu ceramic known as the "Hindu Cosmogram". At its center, we witness the remarkable depiction of Akupara, the tortoise, providing a sturdy foundation for elephants that bear the weight of the entire earth. This allegorical representation symbolizes the belief in cosmic order and balance within Hindu cosmology. Enclosing this extraordinary scene is Asootee, also known as the world-serpent. Its coiled form forms a protective boundary around Akupara and emphasizes its role in upholding existence itself. The intricate drawing skillfully captures every detail of this mesmerizing cosmological concept. The image draws inspiration from Ptolemy's theory, which was influential during ancient times. It reflects an amalgamation of Asian symbolism and Indian cultural heritage. As we delve into this artwork's depths, it becomes evident that it transcends mere aesthetics; it serves as a visual manifestation of profound philosophical ideas. Granger Art on Demand presents us with this thought-provoking piece by Granger NYC / The Granger Collection. It invites us to contemplate our place in the universe while appreciating both artistic mastery and cultural significance. Let yourself be captivated by this timeless representation that reminds us of humanity's eternal quest for understanding our existence beyond what meets the eye.
