EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of "Makara" a sandstone sculpture dating back to the 12th century AD in Quang Nam province, Vietnam. Created by the talented artisans of the Champa Civilization, which thrived from the 2nd to 17th centuries, this artwork is now housed at the Cham Museum in Danang. The image captures a mythological figure seated on a relief carving, depicting an important deity in Hinduism. Makara represents a sea creature with intricate details carved into its stone form. The sculpture's serene and powerful presence evokes a sense of religious devotion and reverence. As we delve into Southeast Asian history and culture through this photograph, we are transported to ancient times when mythology played an integral role in people's lives. The craftsmanship displayed here is truly remarkable; every curve and line tells a story that has been passed down through generations. Through this image, we are reminded of Vietnam's rich heritage and its deep connection to Hindu traditions. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a testament to human creativity throughout time. Credit must be given to Stefano Baldini for capturing this mesmerizing piece of art that continues to inspire awe even after centuries have passed. Bridgeman Images has provided us with access to this treasure trove of cultural artifacts that allow us glimpses into our collective pasts.
