EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a pedestal from the 13th century AD in Danang province, Vietnam. Carved out of grey sandstone by the skilled artisans of the Champa Civilization, this piece is a testament to their artistic prowess and cultural heritage. The photograph captures every nuance of this remarkable sculpture, revealing its mythical motifs and religious symbolism. The viewer's gaze is drawn to the beautifully carved breast-like shapes that adorn the pedestal, representing fertility and abundance in ancient Hindu mythology. The thap mam style is evident in the flame-like patterns that surround these breast motifs, adding an element of dynamism and energy to the artwork. Additionally, one can spot various mythological creatures such as lions, telemons, and garudas intricately carved into the stone. As we delve deeper into this image, we are transported back in time to an era when Hinduism played a significant role in shaping Vietnamese culture. The Cham people's rich religious beliefs come alive through this stunning carving. Through Stefano Baldini's lens, we are granted a glimpse into Southeast Asia's ancient past - a world filled with enchanting myths and legends. This print serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and a reminder of Vietnam's historical significance within Indochina.
