EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning silver sculpture of Manjusri, created by the Indonesian School in the 10th century. Standing at a height of 29 cm, this artifact is housed in the Central Museum in Jakarta, Java, Indonesia. Manjusri, a revered bodhisattva in Mahayana Buddhism, represents transcendent wisdom and is often regarded as a meditational deity in Esoteric Buddhism. The name "Manjusri" translates to "Gentle Glory" emphasizing his enlightened nature and serene presence. The intricate metalwork on this figurine reflects both its ornate beauty and profound symbolism. With incised details and a stylized design, it exudes an air of naivety combined with deep wisdom. As one gazes upon this image, they are invited to contemplate the essence of enlightenment and peace that Manjusri embodies. The seated posture conveys tranquility while engraved patterns add depth to its artistic expression. This photograph by Dirk Bakker captures not only the physicality of this ancient artwork but also evokes the spiritual significance associated with Manjusri's presence. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage found within Indonesia's art scene and offers viewers an opportunity for introspection and meditation.
