EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Temple Strut Fragment with Boar God, Varaha, dating back to the 15th century. Created by an unknown artist, this exquisite piece of art is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago. The sculpture depicts Varaha, a deity from Nepalese and Hindu mythology, who takes the form of a wild boar. With its intricate carving and vibrant colors, this wooden artwork truly exemplifies the artistic mastery of its time. Varaha stands tall with multiple arms gracefully positioned around his body. The attention to detail in each arm and every aspect of his physical form is remarkable. This representation symbolizes power and strength while embodying religious significance. Originating from Nepal, this heritage art object has found its rightful place within the Arts of Asia collection at the Art Institute of Chicago's gallery. It serves as a testament to both cultural diversity and historical craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this photograph print today, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty that was created centuries ago by an anonymous artist whose talent continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
