EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Head of Buddha Shakyamuni, estimated to date back to the 5th century, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Asia. The sandstone carving, originating from either India or Southeast Asia, showcases the masterful handicraft of an unknown artist from that time. The serene expression on the Buddha's face conveys a deep sense of peace and tranquility, reflecting the profound spiritual concepts of Buddhism. The intricately carved features of the Buddha's face, with its elongated earlobes, almond-shaped eyes, and a small mustache, are characteristic of the Shakyamuni or Shih Chia style of Buddhist art. The hairstyle, featuring a topknot or usnisa, is a symbol of enlightenment and wisdom. The Head of Buddha Shakyamuni is a precious object that has survived the test of time, providing a tangible connection to the past and a reminder of the enduring influence of Buddhism on the cultures of Asia. This masterpiece is now part of the esteemed collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
