EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th-18th century apron plaque, featuring a graceful Dancing Goddess, is a captivating example of the rich artistic heritage of South Asia. The intricately carved bone design, with its vibrant colors and intricate details, showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of the time. The goddess, depicted in a lively dance pose, is believed to be a representation of a deity from Tibetan Buddhism. The apron plaque, a common form of religious art in the region, was likely used as a protective talisman or decorative adornment for a statue or statuette. The use of bone as a medium for carving was a common practice in Tibetan art, reflecting the cultural significance of this material in the region. The Dancing Goddess plaque is a testament to the enduring influence of Buddhism on the artistic traditions of South Asia during the 17th and 18th centuries. This rare and beautiful artifact is now part of the esteemed collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich cultural heritage of Asia.
