EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sculpture from the Yuan dynasty, specifically a "Figure of a lohan". Crafted out of wood by the skilled hands of Chinese artisans, this piece is now part of a private collection. The figure depicted in this artwork represents a lohan, which is essentially a Buddhist holy man who has attained spiritual perfection. The serene expression on his face exudes wisdom and tranquility, reflecting the deep spirituality that lies within him. This particular lohan belongs to the wise old male category, dating back to the 13th and 14th centuries. The intricate details carved into the wooden surface are truly awe-inspiring. Every fold in his robe and every line on his face tells its own story, revealing not only exceptional craftsmanship but also an intimate understanding of human anatomy. As we gaze upon this ancient artifact, we can't help but be transported back in time to an era when art was not just about aesthetics but also served as a medium for religious devotion and cultural expression. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and offers us insight into the beliefs and values cherished by those who came before us. While this image is out of copyright according to Chinese law, it's important to note that there may still be possible copyright restrictions depending on your location. Therefore, it's advisable to consult national copyright laws before using or reproducing this image for any purpose beyond personal appreciation or study.
