EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Buddhist tablet from the Period of Division, dating back to 536 CE. Created by an unknown artist, this exquisite piece of art is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of China. The tablet, carved out of stone, features intricate details and vibrant colors that bring it to life. In this close-up shot taken in a studio with a white background, the focus is on the tablet's central figure making a hand gesture known as Vitarka Mudra. This mudra symbolizes intellectual discussion and teaching within Buddhism. The gesturing hand adds depth and meaning to the artwork, inviting viewers to contemplate its spiritual significance. Displayed in the Arthur M Sackler Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution's Freer Gallery of Art, this sculpture represents not only religious devotion but also serves as an educational tool for visitors seeking knowledge about Buddhism during China's Period of Division. As we admire this ancient masterpiece captured through photography, we are transported back in time to appreciate the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating such remarkable pieces. It reminds us of our duty to preserve and honor our diverse cultural heritage for future generations.
