EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 13th century print depicts the revered deities Ganesha, Shiva, and Karttikeya mounted on their respective animals in a harmonious arrangement. The central figure is Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed god, seated elegantly on the back of his mount, the magnificent elephant Mohoras. To his right, the god of destruction and regeneration, Shiva, is shown riding on the powerful bull, Nandi. On the left, the god of war, Karttikeya, is depicted riding on his peacock, Mayura. This intricately carved figurine, likely made of copper alloy, originated from Southeast Asia, possibly from Thailand or Siam. The deities are shown in a full-length pose, with their hands in meditative positions. The close-up view of this beautiful work of art reveals the intricate details of the carving, showcasing the skill and craftsmanship of the artist. This image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Asia and the deep-rooted religious traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism. The figurine is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, adding to its significance as a valuable piece of world art and history.
