EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 11th to 12th century hand-carved schist sculpture depicts the Cosmic Form of the Hindu God Shiva, also known as Sadashiva. The deity is shown in a cross-legged position, or Padmasana, with his arms raised in a gesturing gesture, symbolizing creation and destruction. Shiva's body is adorned with intricate carvings of various gods and goddesses, as well as flowers and plants, reflecting his role as the source of all existence in Hinduism. The statue is believed to have originated from India or Southeast Asia and is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the region. The use of schist, a fine-grained metamorphic rock, adds to the sculpture's beauty and durability. The traces of paint on the statue enhance the intricate details, bringing the deity to life. Shiva is depicted in his cosmic form, with multiple arms and heads, symbolizing his omnipresence and omniscience. The lotus flowers at his feet represent purity and detachment, while the lotus position he sits in signifies enlightenment and spiritual mastery. This masterpiece is now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire awe and reverence among visitors from around the world. The intricacy and beauty of this sculpture serve as a reminder of the profound impact of Hinduism on the artistic and cultural landscape of Asia and beyond.
