EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century depicts a Kalmuk man fearlessly scaring off evil spirits during his wife's labor. The image, created by an anonymous French artist, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Kalmykia, a region in Europe near the Volga River known for its Buddhist traditions. In this scene, we witness the husband standing outside a traditional tent called yurt or yurg. With determination etched on his face, he brandishes objects believed to possess protective powers against malevolent forces. His actions symbolize his unwavering commitment to ensuring a safe and successful childbirth for his beloved wife. The print captures not only the superstitions surrounding childbirth but also highlights the resilience and strength exhibited by individuals in their quest to safeguard their loved ones. It serves as a reminder of how deeply ingrained beliefs can shape our behaviors and provide solace during times of uncertainty. Preserved within eArchives Charmet at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this historical artwork showcases both artistic finesse and cultural significance. Its vivid colors bring life to every detail while offering us an opportunity to explore lesser-known aspects of Buddhism and European history. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing engraving by Bridgeman Images, let us appreciate the power of human devotion in conquering fears and protecting those dear to us – even amidst ancient rituals that may seem unfamiliar today.
