EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the late Qing dynasty in China. The Red-ground silk brocade covering, measuring 197.5x127.3 cm, is an exquisite example of Chinese craftsmanship and cultural significance. The textile itself is intricately woven with gold threads, depicting a large stupa adorned with lines from the Dharani Sutra. Surrounding this central motif are smaller circular and square panels featuring text in both Chinese and Sanskrit, interspersed with delicate lotus blossoms and Buddhist symbols. Four bands encircle the composition, each displaying vajra and lotus motifs, fire scrolls, as well as additional panels containing more text or single characters. These elements contribute to the overall richness and complexity of the design. This stunning artwork not only showcases exceptional technical skill but also reflects deep religious symbolism associated with Buddhism. The presence of stupas further emphasizes its spiritual significance within Eastern culture. Photographed by eChristies Images for Bridgeman Images, this image allows us to appreciate the beauty and historical importance of this red-ground silk brocade covering. It serves as a testament to China's rich artistic heritage during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) while offering insight into their religious beliefs through intricate patterns and sacred texts inscribed on fabric.
