EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Bodhisattva figure, originating from Mekha-Sanda near Shabaz-Garhi in Pakistan. Crafted by a Pakistani school during the 4th century, this sculpture is made of schist or shale and stands at an impressive height of 120 cm. Now housed in the Musee Guimet in Paris, France, it serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of both countries. The Bodhisattva figure depicted here exudes an aura of enlightenment and grace. Adorned with intricate drapery that cascades elegantly around its form, this male enlightened being embodies the essence of Buddhist teachings. The influence of Gandhara art can be observed through the meticulous attention to detail and refined craftsmanship evident in every aspect of this masterpiece. A radiant halo encircles the head of the Bodhisattva figure, symbolizing divinity and spiritual illumination. Its serene expression invites contemplation and reflection upon one's own journey towards enlightenment. Photographed by Peter Willi, this image captures not only the beauty but also the profound significance behind this ancient artifact. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back in time to an era where art was used as a medium for conveying spiritual messages and evoking deep emotions. This print serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries - transcending time and place - allowing us to appreciate and connect with cultures far beyond our own.
