EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 13th century sculpture depicts Buddha Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha, in a serene and contemplative pose. The image, which is believed to have originated from Burma (now Myanmar) in South East Asia, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the region. The sculpture is made of wood, meticulously crafted and then covered with lacquer and gilding, enhancing its beauty and preserving it from the ravages of time. Buddha Shakyamuni, also known as Shaka Nyorai or Shijiamouni, is the primary figure in Buddhism, the religion founded in ancient India over 2500 years ago. The Buddha is depicted here in the 'Dhyana Mudra' or meditation posture, symbolizing deep concentration and inner peace. His serene expression and tranquil demeanor convey a sense of profound wisdom and enlightenment. The sculpture is a valuable addition to the South and Southeast Asian Art collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The museum, which is home to a vast and diverse collection of art from around the world, is a hub for scholars, artists, and visitors alike, who come to explore the rich cultural heritage of different civilizations. The 13th century was a period of great artistic innovation in South East Asia, and this sculpture is a prime example of the exquisite craftsmanship and artistic vision of the time. The intricate details of the Buddha's robes, the delicate folds of his skin, and the subtle play of light and shadow on the surface of the sculpture all serve to bring the figure to life, transporting us to another time and place.
