EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, a bronze sculpture from Central Java dating back to the 9th-10th century. Standing at 34x20x8 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Musee Guimet in Paris, France. The Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara is renowned as the embodiment of compassion in Buddhism. With its ten arms gracefully extended, it symbolizes divine power and benevolence towards all living beings. This particular representation of Avalokitesvara highlights its significance as "he who observes the sounds of the world". Crafted with meticulous detail and precision, this ancient artwork reflects both artistic mastery and spiritual devotion. The intricate mudras (hand gestures) displayed by each arm convey profound meaning within Buddhist iconography. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to a time when spirituality and art intertwined seamlessly. Its presence evokes a sense of tranquility and reverence for centuries-old traditions that continue to inspire us today. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are privileged to witness this cultural treasure up close, allowing us to appreciate its historical importance and aesthetic beauty. Let us immerse ourselves in the rich heritage preserved within this photograph while honoring its origins rooted deep within Indonesian history.
