EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an unidentified teacher from a partial set of lamas and teachers, dating back to the mid-19th century. Created by the Mongolian School, this gilded copper alloy sculpture measures 17.8x12.7 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The exquisite craftsmanship of this piece is evident in its intricate details and delicate features. The gilded copper alloy adds a touch of opulence, enhancing the overall allure of the artwork. Standing at just 7 inches tall, it commands attention with its presence. While we may not know who this teacher specifically was or their significance within Buddhism or Mongolia, their portrayal exudes wisdom and serenity. The artist skillfully captured their essence through careful sculpting techniques. The Alice S. Kandell Collection has preserved this remarkable piece for generations to appreciate and admire. It serves as a testament to both Mongolian artistry and Buddhist traditions prevalent during that era. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness a glimpse into history—a moment frozen forever—capturing not only an unknown teacher but also our collective fascination with ancient cultures and spiritual practices that continue to inspire us today.
