EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 19th century Seated Arhat, or Nahan, figure, likely depicting the Arhat Panthaka, or Pant'aga, is a stunning example of Korean heritage art from the Choson Dynasty. Carved from wood and intricately adorned with pigments, this figurine showcases the masterful craftsmanship of its creator. The Arhat, a revered figure in Buddhism, is depicted in a serene and contemplative pose, with his legs crossed and hands resting in his lap. What sets this Seated Arhat apart is the mythical dragon that coils around his body, a symbol of power and protection. The dragon's scales are meticulously carved and its eyes are painted with a vibrant, almost otherworldly, color. This Seated Arhat, probably Panthaka, with a Dragon, is a rare find, as the use of mythical creatures in Buddhist art is not common in Korean art of this period. The figure's intricate details and the dragon's lifelike quality are a testament to the skill and creativity of the artist. This Seated Arhat, likely created during the 19th century Joseon Dynasty, is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The figure's preservation and display at LACMA allows it to be appreciated by a wider audience, and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Korea and its artistic traditions.
