EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 11th-12th century sandstone sculpture depicts Buddha Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha, surrounded by six monk attendants. The figure of Buddha Shakyamuni is seated in the lotus position, with his right hand forming the gesture of giving, and his left hand resting in his lap. His serene expression and peaceful posture radiate a sense of tranquility and wisdom. The monk attendants, dressed in simple robes and with shaved heads, are shown in various poses, some in deep meditation and others in respectful attendance. The origins of this sculpture are uncertain, but it is believed to have come from Burma, in Southeast Asia. The sandstone material, with traces of paint still visible, suggests that it was once brightly colored and adorned with intricate decorative motifs. The sculpture's intricate details and fine craftsmanship are characteristic of the art of South and Southeast Asia during this period. Buddha Shakyamuni with Monk Attendants is an important example of the artistic and cultural heritage of Asia. It reflects the deep spiritual traditions and practices of Buddhism, which has influenced the lives of millions of people across the continent and beyond. Today, this precious artifact is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors from around the world.
