EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 13th century artifact, known as The Hindu Goddess Bhudevi, is a captivating example of the rich artistic heritage of South Asia. The Goddess Bhudevi, also referred to as Bhumi or Prithvi, is the Hindu goddess of the earth and is often depicted as a full-length figure, with her breasts symbolizing the two oceans encircling the earth. In this sculpture, the goddess is shown in a graceful, full-length pose, with her right hand gesturing in a protective, blessing position, while her left hand rests on her hip. The Goddess Bhudevi is made of copper alloy and is believed to have originated in South East Asia or Hindustan, possibly India. The intricate details of her ornate headdress, jewelry, and flowing garments are testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the artisan who created this masterpiece. The warm, earthy tones of the copper alloy add to the goddess's serene and nurturing presence. This figurine is now part of the esteemed collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire awe and admiration from visitors. The Hindu Goddess Bhudevi is a powerful reminder of the enduring influence of Hinduism and the rich artistic traditions of Asia.
