EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fragment of the "Buddha with a bodhisattva" sculpture, dating back to the Period of Division between 534 and 550. Created by an unknown artist during the 6th century in China, this exquisite artwork is now housed at the Arthur M Sackler Gallery, part of the Smithsonian Institution. The image captures a close-up view of this remarkable stone carving, highlighting its intricate details and vibrant colors. The Buddha is depicted in abhayamudra, a hand gesture symbolizing fearlessness and protection. Standing beside him is a male attendant or bodhisattva, also gesturing with his hands. This piece represents an important aspect of Buddhist art and religion. It reflects the devotion and artistic skill that flourished during ancient times in China. As we gaze upon this fragmentary masterpiece, we are transported back to an era where spirituality permeated every aspect of life. The photograph was taken against a white background in order to emphasize the beauty and significance of these historical artifacts. Its inclusion within educational institutions like museums allows for deeper understanding and appreciation for cultural heritage. Through images like this one from Heritage Images collection, we can explore different periods in history while celebrating human creativity across time and place.
