EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 10th century sculpture depicts the Hindu Goddess Durga, a powerful deity revered for her protective and destructive roles in the universe. The image, believed to have originated from Nepal, is a stunning example of South Asian and Southeast Asian art. Carved from repouss copper alloy with traces of gilding, the sculpture showcases the intricate details and masterful craftsmanship of the artisan. Durga, a form of the divine mother, is often depicted as a warrior goddess, riding a lion and holding various weapons in her ten hands. In this representation, she stands tall and confident, her muscular arms and fierce expression radiating strength and determination. Her figure is adorned with intricate jewelry and elaborate headdress, symbolizing her regal status as a divine queen. The Goddess Durga is an essential figure in Hinduism, and her worship is particularly popular in Nepal and India. This sculpture is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and religious traditions of South Asia, and a reminder of the profound impact of Hinduism on the artistic and spiritual landscape of the continent. The sculpture is now part of the South and Southeast Asian Art collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire awe and admiration from visitors and scholars alike. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring legacy of Hindu art and the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse artistic traditions of the world.
