1. Title: Lintel with the Hindu God Indra on His Elephant Mount, 10th Century Description: This lintel, hailing from the 10th century, showcases the Hindu god Indra atop his majestic mount, an elephant, in a stunning display of ancient artistry. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, but it is believed to originate from Southeast Asia, possibly from Siam or Thailand. The lintel, carved from sandstone, is a testament to the intricate decorative arts of the region during this period. Indra, also known as Shakra, is depicted with four arms, each holding a symbolic object - a thunderbolt, a discus, a conch shell, and a lotus flower. His serene expression and the intricately carved details of his clothing and ornaments reflect the deep reverence and devotion the people held for their deities. The elephant, a common mount for Hindu gods, is shown in all its grandeur. Its body is adorned with intricate patterns and delicate carvings, reflecting the symmetrical and harmonious design principles of the era. The lintel's background is a simple, black backdrop, allowing the divine figure and the intricate carvings to stand out in all their glory. The lintel, now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Southeast Asia and the intricacy and intricately carved details that define its ancient art. The lintel's close-up view, whether in a panoramic or studio shot, invites viewers to explore the details and appreciate the craftsmanship that went into creating this timeless work of art.
