EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a sandstone sculpture of a Yakshini, an enchanting tree spirit from Sanskrit mythology. Believed to be a benevolent guardian of hidden treasures within the earth, this Yakshini figure originates from a Jain stupa located in Mathura, Northern India. Created during the Kushan dynasty in the 2nd century A. D. , this ancient artwork represents the rich cultural heritage and artistic prowess of South Asia. The intricate bas relief carving on the sandstone reveals exquisite details such as delicate jewelry adorning her body and a serene expression on her face. Standing tall and graceful, she embodies both spiritual power and feminine beauty. The photograph captures every nuance of this remarkable sculpture, allowing viewers to appreciate its historical significance and aesthetic brilliance.
