Image 5 of 6: A Buddha Flanked by Figures Standing on a Mythical Creature, 8th-9th Century, South East Asia This ancient artifact, dating from the 8th to 9th century, is a captivating example of the rich cultural heritage of South East Asia. The central figure is a serene Buddha, seated in meditation position, with his legs crossed and his hands in the lap in the gesture of teaching. The Buddha's body is carved in schist, a hard, fine-grained metamorphic rock, and his features are delicately modeled, exuding a sense of calm and tranquility. Flanking the Buddha are two figures, each standing on the back of a mythical creature. The figures are believed to represent the Bodhisattvas Avalokitesvara and Manjusri, who are revered in Buddhism for their compassion and wisdom, respectively. The mythical creatures on which they stand are intricately carved, with dragon-like bodies and bird-like heads, symbolizing the power and transcendence of these enlightened beings. The use of mythical creatures in Buddhist art is a common motif in South East Asian art, reflecting the syncretic nature of Buddhism in the region, which absorbed local beliefs and practices. The fusion of Buddhist and mythological elements in this sculpture is a testament to the dynamic interplay of cultures and religions in the region during this period. This masterpiece is now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire awe and fascination among visitors from around the world. The intricate details of the carving, the serene expression of the Buddha, and the powerful symbolism of the mythical creatures make this a must-see for anyone interested in the art and history of South East Asia.
