EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Standing Bodhisattva sculpture hails from the Northern Qi Dynasty of China, which ruled from 550 to 577 AD. The statue, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, United States, was discovered in the Shanxi Province of China. The Bodhisattva, a revered figure in Buddhism, is depicted standing with his right hand in the gesture of giving, or varada mudra, and his left hand in the gesture of refuge, or vitarka mudra. His serene expression and graceful posture convey a deep sense of compassion and enlightenment. The Northern Qi Dynasty was a significant period in Chinese art history, marked by the development of a distinctive style characterized by its elegant simplicity and subtle refinement. This Bodhisattva statue is a prime example of the artistic achievements of this era. The figure is dressed in the robes of a monk, with intricate patterns and folds skillfully carved into the stone. The drapery falls in soft, flowing lines, creating a sense of fluidity and grace. The Bodhisattva's hair is styled in a topknot, adorned with a diadem and pearls. Despite the passage of time, the statue has retained its remarkable preservation, a testament to the masterful craftsmanship of the artisans of the Northern Qi Dynasty. This Standing Bodhisattva sculpture is not only a precious relic of ancient Chinese art but also a powerful symbol of the enduring influence of Buddhism in Asian culture.
