EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent sculpture of Shiva with ten arms, originating from the Thap Banh It Temple in Binh Dinh, Vietnam. Created by the Vietnamese School during the 11th-12th century, this sandstone masterpiece stands at an impressive height of 165 cm and is now housed in the Musee Guimet in Paris, France. The image captures Shiva seated cross-legged in a virasana pose, exuding power and grace. With his multiple arms outstretched around him, he symbolizes divine strength and protection. Each arm holds various objects that represent different aspects of Hinduism and its mythology. The intricate details carved into the stone highlight the skillful craftsmanship of the Vietnamese artists who created this artwork centuries ago. The thap mam style adds a unique touch to this depiction of Shiva, making it distinctively Vietnamese while still honoring Hindu traditions. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring representation of one of Hinduism's most revered deities, we are reminded of both the cultural richness found within Vietnam and its deep connection to ancient religious beliefs. This photograph serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history and invites us to appreciate art's ability to transcend time and geographical boundaries.
