EDITORS COMMENTS
This intricately hand-carved sandstone sculpture, dating back to the late 7th century, depicts a mother cow nursing her calf in a tender moment of motherhood. The lifelike portrayal of the animals' behavior is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the unknown artist. The sculpture, originating from South East Asia, possibly Hindustan or India, showcases the deep connection between the two animals, with the mother cow protecting her young one while he drinks from her abundant udders. The concept of family and parenting is beautifully captured in this figurine, which has been preserved for centuries. The cow and calf sculpture, now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, is a valuable addition to the museum's Asian art section. The use of naturalistic colors and the attention to detail in the carving of the animals' features, such as the texture of their coats and the shape of their ears, further enhance the realism of the piece. This sculpture serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of South Asia and the importance of preserving and celebrating the artistic traditions of the past.
