EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Brahmanist monk from the 13th century AD, hailing from Danang province in Vietnam. Crafted out of sandstone by the talented artisans of the Champa Civilization, this sculpture is a testament to their artistic prowess and cultural heritage that spanned from the 2nd to the 17th century. The intricate carving, done in the thap mam style, captures every detail of this ancient religious figure. The monk sits cross-legged with an air of serenity and wisdom, his distinctive hat adding to his aura of spirituality. This remarkable piece serves as a window into the rich history and traditions of Southeast Asia. As we delve into its mythological significance, it becomes evident that this sculpture represents more than just a man; it embodies Hinduism's profound influence on Vietnamese culture during that era. Its religious undertones evoke feelings of reverence and contemplation. Photographed by Stefano Baldini at Cham Museum in Danang, Vietnam, this image beautifully preserves not only the physicality but also the essence of this ancient relic. It serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with religion and mythology throughout human history. With its impeccable craftsmanship and historical significance, this sandstone masterpiece invites us to reflect upon our own beliefs while appreciating the beauty created by those who came before us.
