EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Covered Relic Container with a Buddhist Deity dates back to the 13th-14th century and is a prime example of the artistic achievements during the Goryeo Dynasty in Korea. The container, made of hand-carved molded stoneware with stamped decoration, showcases intricate carvings and colorful lacquerwork. The central figure is a Buddhist deity, likely Avalokitesvara or Kuan Yin, the bodhisattva of compassion. The deity is depicted in a serene posture, with one hand in the gesture of granting refuge and the other holding a lotus flower. The lid of the container is adorned with elaborate decorative motifs, including dragons, phoenixes, and floral patterns. The container's cover is intricately carved with a design of interlocking geometric shapes, adding to its visual appeal. This masterpiece is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Goryeo Dynasty and the deep-rooted influence of Buddhism on Korean art. Currently, this Covered Relic Container with Buddhist Deity is housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire awe and admiration among visitors.
