EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of the "Two Addorsed Tree Dryads" sculpture, created by the Indian School in the 1st century BC. Carved from sandstone and standing at an impressive height of 62.2 cm, this artwork is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, California. Originally part of the Great Stupa at Sanchi in Madhya Pradesh, India, these back-to-back dryads served as a decorative bracket between two gateway lintels. Positioned strategically, they were intended to be admired by worshippers on both sides of the gateway. The intricate details and delicate features bring these mythological female figures to life. Symbolizing devotion and spirituality within Buddhism, these nymph-like sculptures are adorned with blossoms and embody a sense of ethereal beauty.

Their stone forms exude grace and serenity while evoking a deep sense of reverence among those who encounter them. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported to ancient times when mythology intertwined with daily life. This photograph captures not only their physical beauty but also their spiritual significance within Eastern religion. Immerse yourself in the enchanting world depicted by this image – where worship meets artistry; where nature merges with divinity; where history converges with myth.
