EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 16th or 17th century print depicts Hanuman, the revered Hindu deity and divine monkey hero, in a humble and devotional posture. Hanuman is a central figure in Hinduism and is known for his immense strength, loyalty, and courage. He is an avatar of the god Shiva and is often depicted with a human face and a monkey body. In this print, Hanuman is shown kneeling with his hands in a gesturing position, a common representation of reverence and devotion. His body is adorned with intricate patterns and details, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of India and Southeast Asia. The figure is made of copper alloy, a material commonly used in Hindu sculptures due to its durability and symbolic significance. The origins of this print are unknown, but it is believed to have originated from either India or Southeast Asia, given the distinctive style and iconography. It is now part of the extensive collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is cherished as an important artifact of Asian art and religious history. Hanuman continues to be a beloved deity in Hinduism and is revered by millions around the world. This print serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and spiritual traditions that have shaped the continent of Asia for centuries.
