EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 7th or 8th century marble sculpture depicts Probably Shakyamuni, the Historical Buddha, in a serene and contemplative seated position. The figure, originating from China during the Tang Dynasty, showcases intricate carving techniques with traces of paint and gilding that once adorned the statue. The Buddha's peaceful expression and the delicately carved robe folds convey a sense of deep spirituality and enlightenment. The Buddha, also known as Shijiamouni or Shaka Nyorai, is a central figure in Buddhism and is believed to be the founder of the religion. This sculpture is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions of ancient Asia. The figure's posture, with the right hand resting in the lap and the left hand forming the "earth witness" mudra, symbolizes the Buddha's teachings and his connection to the earth. The intricate details of the carving, such as the lotus flower base and the intricate patterns on the Buddha's robes, reflect the masterful craftsmanship of the time. This sculpture is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcasing the museum's commitment to preserving and exhibiting important works of art from around the world. The statue's intriguing history and cultural significance make it a must-see for visitors to the museum and a valuable addition to the study of ancient Asian art.
