EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sculpture titled "Buddha Worshipped by the Gods Indra and Brahma" dating back to the Kushan period in the 1st or 2nd century. Originating from the ancient region of Gandhara, which is now modern-day Pakistan, this piece of art is housed at the Art Institute of Chicago. The sculpture depicts Buddha seated in a serene lotus position, his legs crossed and hands gracefully gesturing in prayer. The artist's intricate carving skillfully captures every detail, emphasizing Buddha's tranquil expression and meditative posture. Surrounding him are two prominent deities - Indra and Brahma - who are shown worshipping him with utmost reverence. Crafted from schist stone, this sacred artwork symbolizes the profound influence of Buddhism during its early years in India. The presence of Ficus religiosa (sacred fig) foliage further emphasizes its spiritual significance as it represents Buddha's enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are transported back through time to witness an extraordinary moment where gods themselves pay homage to Buddha. This masterpiece serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and religious devotion, reminding us of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire countless individuals around the world today.
