EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 9th century print depicts the revered Buddhist goddess Tara, a figure of compassion and protection in Buddhism. The Goddess Tara is shown here in her standing form, with one leg bent and the other foot placed on an invisible lotus pedestal. Her right hand is raised in the gesture of fearlessness, while her left hand holds a lotus bud, symbolizing the attainment of enlightenment. Tara's serene expression and graceful posture convey a sense of tranquility and strength. The goddess is depicted in copper alloy, a common material for Buddhist sculptures in South and Southeast Asia during this period. The intricate details of her ornate headdress, jewelry, and flowing robes are indicative of the high level of craftsmanship and artistic skill of the time. The goddess's eyes are inlaid with precious stones, adding to her regal and divine appearance. The exact origin of this print is unknown, but it is believed to have come from Bangladesh or another country in South Asia. It is now part of the South and Southeast Asian Art collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is cherished as an important piece of cultural heritage. The goddess Tara continues to be a source of inspiration and devotion for Buddhists around the world, and this beautiful print serves as a reminder of the rich artistic and spiritual traditions of Asia.
