This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient art and history. Taken at the Musee National des Arts Asiatiques Guimet in Paris, France, it features a full-length sandstone sculpture from Preah Thkol (Mebon) in Cambodia's Angkor region. Dating back to the 12th century, this statue represents the Bodhisattva Lokesvara in the Bayon style. Against a striking black background, the intricate details of this Khmer masterpiece are brought to life. Despite its age and damage over time, the craftsmanship is still evident through every carefully carved line and curve. This studio shot allows us to appreciate its front view and marvel at its significance as an archaeological artifact. The male likeness depicted here reflects both artistic skill and religious devotion. The Bodhisattva Lokesvara holds immense importance within Buddhism as an embodiment of compassion and enlightenment.

As we gaze upon this stunning sculpture, we are reminded of our connection to human representation throughout history. It serves as a testament to mankind's enduring fascination with art and spirituality across cultures
