EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century sculpture depicts Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche, the second Buddha of Tibetan Buddhism. The figure is carved from ivory and stands approximately 10 inches tall. Padmasambhava is shown in a meditative posture, with his right hand in the mudra of teaching and his left hand in the mudra of protection, symbolizing his role as both a teacher and a guardian. The intricate details of his clothing, adornments, and facial features are skillfully rendered, reflecting the masterful craftsmanship of the artist. Padmasambhava is considered to be the founder of Tibetan Buddhism and is revered for his role in bringing Buddhism to Tibet. He is believed to have lived in the 8th century and is known for his miraculous abilities and enlightened mind. This sculpture is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of South Asia and the enduring influence of Tibetan Buddhism. This sculpture is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), located in Los Angeles, California, USA. LACMA is one of the largest art museums in the United States and is dedicated to collecting and preserving art from all continents and time periods. This sculpture is a valuable addition to their extensive collection of Asian art.
