EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent Mandala (cloisonne enamel) from the Ming Dynasty. Measuring 25.5 cm in diameter, this intricate artwork was made specifically for the Tibetan market. The exterior of the bowl features a cosmic diagram, with Mount Meru taking center stage as the focal point of Buddhist cosmography. Flanked by the sun and moon, Mount Meru is surrounded by dancing deities in the first circle. Moving to the second circle, we find eight auspicious signs of Tibetan Buddhism alternating with seated figures divided by symbols representing four continents from Indian cosmology: Purva Videha, Jambudvipa, Apara Godaniya, and Uttara Kuru. The level of detail and symbolism present in this piece is truly awe-inspiring. Each element has been meticulously crafted to create a harmonious composition that invites contemplation and meditation. The design represents not only religious and spiritual themes but also serves as a microcosm reflecting patterns found within our vast cosmos. This print captures every intricate line and vibrant color of this ancient masterpiece, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty up close. It serves as a reminder of humanity's rich cultural heritage and offers an opportunity for deep reflection on life's interconnectedness and universal harmony.
