EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the 13th century AD, hailing from the Dragon region in Danang province, Vietnam. Crafted out of sandstone by the talented artisans of the Champa Civilization, this sculpture represents a mythical creature known as a Makara in Cham culture. The image captures an intricately carved relief depicting a squatting dragon-like figure with exquisite detail and precision. The craftsmanship is truly awe-inspiring, showcasing the rich artistic heritage of Southeast Asia. Rooted in Hindu mythology and religion, this stone sculpture embodies both religious and mythological symbolism. It serves as a testament to the profound influence that Hinduism had on ancient Vietnamese society. Photographed by Stefano Baldini at the renowned Cham Museum in Danang, Vietnam, this print allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its aesthetic beauty. The dragon's presence exudes power and majesty while simultaneously displaying delicate features that highlight its mythical nature.
