EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century artifact, known as the Enshrined Feet of the Hindu Saint Gorakhanatha, is a stunning example of the rich artistic heritage of South and Southeast Asia. The copper alloy sculpture, with traces of gilding, depicts the enshrined feet of the revered Hindu saint, Gorakhanatha. The figure of the saint is not present in the sculpture, but his divine presence is believed to reside in his enshrined feet. The concept of enshrining the feet of a deity or saint is deeply rooted in Hinduism, symbolizing the connection between the divine and the earthly world. The feet are considered the most sacred part of the human body, and enshrining them is a way to honor and pay homage to the divine. The sculpture dates back to the 1650s and originated in South Asia, possibly from India or Nepal. The intricate details of the sculpture, such as the lotus petals and the intricate ornamentation, showcase the exceptional craftsmanship of the artist. The use of copper alloy with traces of gilding adds to the sculpture's visual appeal and religious significance. The Enshrined Feet of the Hindu Saint Gorakhanatha is now part of the South Asian and Southeast Asian Art collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). It is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Asia and the importance of preserving and showcasing such artifacts for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
