EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-carved granulite statuette depicts the revered Hindu goddess Sita, hailing from the Tamil Nadu region of India, circa 1100. The 12th century artifact showcases intricate decorative elements, with delicate carvings adorning Sita's clothing and ornaments. The young goddess is depicted in a standing position, with a serene expression and outstretched hands in a gesture of blessing. Originating from the rich cultural heritage of Hindustan, this figurine is a testament to the artistic prowess of the ancient Indian civilization. The intricate carving technique, combined with the use of natural stone, adds to the timeless beauty and allure of this sacred image. The Sita Goddess is a beloved figure in Hinduism, known for her unwavering devotion to her husband, Lord Rama. According to Hindu mythology, Sita was abducted by the demon king Ravana and was later rescued by Lord Rama. Her unyielding faith and strength in the face of adversity make her an enduring symbol of love, loyalty, and perseverance. This stunning piece of art is now part of the esteemed collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a renowned institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing the world's artistic and cultural heritage. The close-up view of the Sita Goddess reveals the intricacies of the carving, inviting viewers to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating this masterpiece over a thousand years ago.
