EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century print depicts Buddha Bhaishajyaguru, also known as the Buddha of Healing or Shakyamuni as the Healer. The image originated from Burma, now Myanmar, in South East Asia, and is representative of the rich artistic heritage of the region. The Buddha is depicted in a seated position, with his legs crossed in the lotus position and his hands in the mudra of giving and receiving. He is flanked by two attendants, symbolizing compassion and wisdom. The print is made of copper alloy and is covered in intricate lacquer work, adding to its visual appeal and preserving its vibrant colors. The use of lacquer work was a common technique in South East Asian art during the 18th century, and it is believed to have been used to protect the metal from corrosion and to enhance its visual appeal. Buddha Bhaishajyaguru is a popular figure in Buddhism, particularly in the Shingon and Tendai traditions. He is believed to have the power to heal physical and spiritual ailments, and is often invoked for protection and good health. This print would have been used as a devotional object in a Buddhist temple or shrine, serving as a reminder of the healing power of the Buddha. The print is now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is a valuable addition to their collection of South Asian and Southeast Asian art. Its intricate design and historical significance make it a must-see for anyone interested in the art and cultural heritage of Asia.
