EDITORS COMMENTS
This 12th century art piece, titled "Pair of Sacred Monkeys" (image 3 of 7), showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and spiritual significance of the Heian Period in Japanese history. The pair of monkeys, carved from wood with traces of pigment, are depicted in a seated position, their faces etched with expressions of alarm and fear. Their close-up portrayal invites the viewer to appreciate the intricate details of their fur texture, the delicate folds of their clothing, and the nuanced expressions that convey a sense of unease. The monkeys, considered sacred animals in Japanese culture, were believed to be the attendants of the Shinto deity, Sarutahiko Okina. They were believed to bring blessings and ward off evil. The fearful expressions on their faces, however, suggest that they are not only sacred but also alert and protective. This hand-carved sculpture, a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan, is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The wood, with its warm color and subtle hints of color, has aged gracefully over the centuries, adding to its timeless allure. The monkeys' worried gazes and alert postures continue to captivate and intrigue viewers, offering a glimpse into the spiritual beliefs and artistic sensibilities of the Heian Period.
