EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable relief depicting the Birth of Buddha, believed to be from the ancient region of Gandhara, possibly Sikri. Created during the 2nd-3rd century, this exquisite piece is carved out of schist and now resides in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford. The scene depicted in this relief transports us back in time to witness an important moment in Buddhist history. Queen Maya, beautifully portrayed as a regal figure, is shown giving birth to Prince Siddhartha Gautama, who would later become known as Buddha. Surrounding them are attendants and maidens adorned with delicate lotus flowers symbolizing purity and enlightenment. Every detail on this stone sculpture speaks volumes about the religious significance it holds. The artist's craftsmanship is evident through their meticulous portrayal of each character's expressions and attire. From the serene face of Queen Maya to the gentle touch of her attendant holding a baby cradle, every element exudes grace and devotion. This print not only captures a timeless work of art but also serves as a reminder of Buddhism's rich cultural heritage. It invites viewers to delve into its profound teachings while appreciating the skillful mastery that went into creating such an awe-inspiring piece.
