EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricately carved Head of a Lion, hailing from the 7th century. The origin of this ancient artifact is shrouded in mystery, as the creator remains unknown. The lion's powerful visage, with piercing eyes and a mane of curls, is masterfully carved from red sandstone. This sculpture is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship and artistic prowess of the South Asian civilization during the early medieval period. The lion, a symbol of courage and strength, is a prominent figure in the cultural heritage of various civilizations, including those of South East Asia and India. This statuette, with its bold and expressive features, is believed to have originated from either India or Southeast Asia, given the region's rich history of lion worship and the use of red sandstone as a primary building material. The Head of a Lion is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire awe and fascination among visitors. The museum, located in Los Angeles, California, is a renowned cultural institution dedicated to collecting, preserving, and exhibiting a diverse range of art from around the world. This magnificent piece adds to the museum's extensive collection of Asian art, showcasing the depth and richness of the continent's artistic heritage.
