EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient sculpture of Yama, a prominent figure in Hindu and Buddhist mythology. Created by the Indian School in the 12th century, this schist artwork measures 54x29 cm and is currently held in a private collection. Yama, known as the god of death, holds significant importance in both religious traditions. The image beautifully captures the intricate details of this stone deity. Sitting majestically with an aura of power and wisdom, Yama's presence is felt through his commanding posture and serene expression. The artist skillfully portrays not only Yama's divine nature but also his connection to animals, as seen by their inclusion within the sculpture. As we delve into South Asian beliefs and culture through this photograph, it becomes evident that mortality plays a central role. Yama serves as a reminder of life's impermanence and our inevitable encounter with death. This artwork symbolizes devotion to Hinduism or Buddhism while offering solace amidst existential questions. Photographed by Dirk Bakker, this image allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship involved in creating such masterpieces centuries ago. It serves as a testament to India's rich artistic heritage and spiritual traditions that continue to inspire awe even today.
