EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 12th-13th century copper alloy sculpture depicts the revered Buddhist goddess Vasudhara. Originating from Nepal or South East Asia, this masterpiece showcases the rich artistic heritage of the region. The goddess is depicted in a seated position, with her legs crossed in the lotus position and her right hand in the gesture of giving, symbolizing her role as the goddess of wealth and abundance. Her left hand rests on her lap, holding a small vase, from which water flows, representing the abundant rain that nourishes the earth. Vasudhara is adorned with intricate inlaid gemstones and glass, adding to her regal and divine appearance. The sculpture is further enhanced with traces of gilding, adding a golden sheen to her figure. The goddess's serene expression and graceful posture convey a sense of tranquility and peace. This sculpture is an exceptional example of the artistic achievements of the South Asian and Southeast Asian art during the medieval period. It is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The exact creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, but its enduring beauty and significance in Buddhist tradition continue to resonate with people of all faiths and backgrounds.
