EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century sculpture depicts Karma Pakshi, the sixth Karmapa, who is considered one of the most influential figures in Tibetan Buddhism. The statue, made of gilt brass with traces of paint, measures only 11.5 centimeters in height and is a testament to the intricate craftsmanship of the time. The Karmapa is shown in a meditative posture, with his right hand in the mudra of teaching and his left hand resting in his lap. His serene expression and the gentle gestures of his hands convey a sense of deep spiritual insight and wisdom. Born in 1206 in Tibet, Karma Pakshi was a key figure in the spread of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition beyond the Himalayas. He is known for his teachings on Mahamudra, a meditation practice that emphasizes the unity of all phenomena and the realization of the true nature of reality. The statue is believed to have been created during his lifetime or shortly thereafter, and it is a valuable reminder of the rich artistic and spiritual heritage of Tibet. This statue is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is displayed as a testament to the enduring influence of Tibetan Buddhism on world culture. The statue's intricate details and the warm glow of the gilt brass make it a captivating work of art, while its historical and spiritual significance add depth and meaning to the viewer's experience.
