EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 10th or 11th century brass and silver figurine represents Maitreya, the Bodhisattva of Compassion and Future Buddha, from South East Asia or India. The sculpture, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcases Maitreya in a cross-legged posture, a common pose for Buddhist deities, symbolizing meditation and spiritual enlightenment. The intricately detailed artwork is adorned with vibrant colors and intricate patterns, enhancing the serene expression on Maitreya's face. Maitreya, also known as Bosatsu or Avalokitesvara in other Buddhist traditions, is revered for his boundless compassion and his vow to attain Buddhahood only after all sentient beings have reached enlightenment. This figurine is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Asian continent, reflecting the deep spiritual beliefs and practices of the region. The exact origin of this precious artifact is unknown, but it is believed to have been created in either India, Hindustan, or Southeast Asia. The use of brass and silver in its construction is indicative of the advanced metalworking techniques prevalent during this period. The figurine's intricate details and beautiful coloration have survived the passage of time, making it a valuable addition to the LACMA collection and an enduring symbol of the artistic and cultural heritage of Asia.
