EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 9th century brass figurine depicts the Infant Buddha Shakyamuni, a revered symbol of enlightenment and compassion in Buddhism. The sculpture originates from the Kashmir region, which was once a cultural melting pot of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. The tiny boy, with his chubby cheeks and serene expression, is shown standing in the full lotus position, his right hand gesturing the mudra of teaching, while his left hand rests on his lap in the mudra of reflection. The intricate details of his clothing, adorned with precious stones and intricate patterns, reflect the rich artistic heritage of the region. The Infant Buddha Shakyamuni is also known as Shaka Nyorai or Shijiamouni, and is believed to represent the Buddha in his earliest form, before he attained enlightenment as a grown man. This figurine is a testament to the deep spiritual traditions of ancient India and the artistic mastery of its craftsmen. The Infant Buddha Shakyamuni is a rare and precious find, and is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The close-up view of the sculpture reveals the intricacies of its design and the skillful use of metalworking techniques. The warm, rich tones of the brass add to the sense of timelessness and reverence surrounding this precious artifact.
