EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Bodhisattva head, dating back to approximately 565 AD during the Northern Qi Dynasty in China. Created from limestone and measuring 40.64x27.94 cm, this exquisite piece is housed at the San Diego Museum of Art in the United States. Believed to depict the bodhisattva Maitreya, who patiently awaits his rebirth as the next Buddha on Earth, this sculpture emanates tranquility and serenity. The expression on his face reflects deep meditative bliss as he resides in a heavenly realm. The intricately crafted crown adorning his head features delicate ribbons cascading down its sides, adding an ethereal touch to this divine representation. Notably heavy earrings gracefully elongate his earlobes, symbolizing spiritual devotion. With closed eyes and an air of profound concentration, this Bodhisattva epitomizes meditation and faith within Buddhism. His regal headdress further accentuates his sacred presence. Preserved for centuries with great care and reverence, this image captures not only artistic mastery but also embodies spirituality and enlightenment associated with Buddhist teachings. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, viewers can appreciate every intricate detail of this ancient masterpiece that transcends time and culture – a testament to humanity's enduring quest for inner peace and transcendence beyond worldly realms.
