EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 14th century Throneback Panel, hailing from Central Tibet, is a stunning example of the intricate woodcarving and gilding techniques that flourished during the Tibetan imperial period. The panel, currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcases a regal figure seated on a throne, surrounded by attentive courtiers. The intricate wood carving is adorned with vibrant colors and traces of paint, adding depth and dimension to the intricate design. The Throneback Panel is believed to have been used as a decorative element on the backrest of a throne or a ceremonial chair. The central figure, dressed in royal attire and adorned with a crown, is depicted in a serene and commanding pose, emphasizing his authority and power. The courtiers, arranged in a hierarchical order, pay homage to their ruler, reflecting the complex social structure of the Tibetan royal court. The woodcarving technique used in the Throneback Panel is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Tibetan craftsmen of the time. The intricate patterns and designs are meticulously carved into the wood, with each detail carefully executed to perfection. The use of gilding adds a sense of grandeur and luxury to the piece, making it a fitting adornment for a royal throne. The Throneback Panel is a valuable addition to LACMA's extensive collection of Asian art, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Central Tibet during the medieval period. Its intricate design, vibrant colors, and historical significance make it a must-see for anyone interested in art, history, or Tibetan culture.
