EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 7th-8th century Standing Bhaishajyaguru (Yaksa), or Medicine Buddha, figurine hails from the Unified Silla Dynasty of Korea. The Medicine Buddha is a significant figure in Buddhism, believed to possess the power to heal physical and mental afflictions. This bronze statue, gilded and richly colored, showcases the Medicine Buddha in a standing position, with his right hand in the mudra of giving, and his left hand holding a bowl, symbolizing the elixir of life. The intricate details of the statue reveal the masterful craftsmanship of the unknown artist. The Medicine Buddha is depicted wearing monastic robes, adorned with a crown, and surrounded by various deities and symbols of enlightenment. The statue's serene expression and posture convey a sense of peace and tranquility, making it a powerful symbol of healing and spiritual well-being. This rare and valuable artifact is now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Korea and the enduring influence of Buddhism on its art and spiritual traditions. The Standing Bhaishajyaguru figurine is a reminder of the profound connection between art, religion, and the human quest for health and enlightenment.
