EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sculpture of a Devata, a female divinity, sitting gracefully. Crafted from dry stone in the 7th century, this masterpiece hails from the monastery of Fondukistan in Afghanistan. Currently housed at the Guimet Museum, National Museum of Asian Arts in Paris, France, it is an exquisite representation of ancient Afghan art. The intricate details on this sculpture are awe-inspiring. The artist's skill is evident in every curve and contour that brings life to this mythological character. The Devata sits with poise and elegance, exuding an air of serenity and power simultaneously. One cannot help but notice the snake coiled around her arm. Symbolizing wisdom and transformation in many cultures, the serpent adds another layer of mystique to this artwork. Its presence hints at deeper meanings within Afghan mythology. This photograph captures not only the beauty of this sculpture but also its historical significance as a relic from centuries past. It serves as a testament to the rich artistic heritage found throughout Afghanistan and highlights its importance as a cultural hub in the Middle East. Through this image by Photo Josse, we can appreciate both the craftsmanship involved in creating such masterful sculptures and their ability to transcend time through their enduring beauty.
