EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Central Javanese figure of Padmapani, dating back to the late 9th century. Crafted from bronze and standing at a height of 12.7 cm, this exquisite sculpture is currently held in a private collection. The image captures the essence of Buddhism through its religious symbolism and intricate details. The figure sits in a meditative pose on an ornate throne, exuding tranquility and compassion. Adorned with a green patina that adds depth to its appearance, the sculpture emanates an aura of wisdom and serenity. Padmapani holds a parasol above his head, symbolizing protection from worldly distractions during meditation. His serene expression reflects deep contemplation as he channels inner peace and enlightenment. As an Indonesian artwork originating from Java, this figurine represents the Buddhist bodhisattva Guanyin or Avalokitesvara - known for their boundless compassion towards all sentient beings. The lotus flower beneath Padmapani signifies purity and spiritual growth. This stunning statuette not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also invites viewers to reflect upon their own journey towards self-discovery and mindfulness. Its timeless beauty transcends centuries, reminding us of the enduring power of art to inspire introspection and connect us with ancient traditions.
