EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th century print depicts the Bodhisattva Vajrapani, also known as Chana Dorje in Tibetan Buddhism, and his consort. The Bodhisattva Vajrapani is a central figure in Mahayana Buddhism, known for his role as the protector of the Buddha's teachings and the embodiment of the power of wisdom and action. He is often depicted holding a vajra in his right hand and a bell in his left, symbolizing the indivisible union of wisdom and method. In this image, Vajrapani is shown in gilt copper with paint, standing in a relaxed posture with his consort. She is depicted in a graceful pose, gesturing towards him with her right hand in a mudra, or symbolic hand gesture, while holding a lotus flower in her left hand. The intricate details of their clothing and ornaments, as well as the delicate use of color and the subtle expression on their faces, reveal the skillful hand of an accomplished artist. The location of this print is currently at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is a valuable addition to their extensive collection of Asian art. The statue serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Tibet and the enduring influence of Buddhism on the artistic traditions of Asia. The use of gilt copper and paint, as well as the intricate details and symbolism, demonstrate the mastery of traditional techniques and the deep spiritual significance of this work.
