EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century sculpture depicts Buddha Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha, in a serene and contemplative posture. The statue, made of gilt copper alloy and adorned with gold, is a testament to the rich artistic traditions of South Asia, specifically Sri Lanka. The Buddha is shown with his hands in the 'dhyana mudra,' or meditation posture, symbolizing deep concentration and inner peace. The intricate details of his robes and the delicate folds of his body reveal the skillful craftsmanship of the unknown artist. The statue's warm golden hue adds to its ethereal beauty and invites contemplation and reflection. This statuette, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a precious addition to the museum's vast collection of Asian art and a reminder of the enduring influence of Buddhism on world culture." "The exact origin of this sculpture is unknown, but it is believed to have been produced during the late Kandy period in Sri Lanka. The Kandy period is known for its distinctive artistic style, characterized by intricate details, delicate craftsmanship, and the use of gilt copper alloy and gold in sculptures. This Buddha statue is a rare example of the artistic achievements of this period and a valuable heritage art piece that continues to inspire awe and reverence." "The statue's intricate details, from the delicate folds of the robes to the expressive features of the face, reveal the skillful hand of the unknown artist. The statue's posture and serene expression invite contemplation and reflection, making it a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or a personal meditation space. Whether admired for its artistic merit or its religious significance, this 17th century Buddha Shakyamuni sculpture is a timeless masterpiece that transcends cultural and temporal boundaries.
