EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent artifact from the late 19th century - a Crowned and Bejewelled Buddha Seated on an Elephant Throne. The creator of this awe-inspiring piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its already enchanting presence. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this Burmese masterpiece is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of the time. Made from gilded and lacquered wood adorned with paint and colored glass, it emanates a sense of opulence and grandeur. The Buddha sits in a serene cross-legged posture atop an intricately designed elephant throne, symbolizing wisdom, strength, and enlightenment. Adorned with jeweled ornaments and wearing a majestic crown, the figure exudes regality. The golden hue that envelops this sculpture adds to its allure as it catches every glimmer of light within its surroundings. Its decorative elements reflect the rich cultural heritage of Burma (now Myanmar), showcasing the country's deep-rooted connection to Buddhism. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's Asian collection gallery, this artifact serves as both a historical treasure and an artistic marvel. It invites viewers into another era while inspiring contemplation on spirituality and religious devotion. Through capturing this remarkable work through photography, we are able to appreciate its beauty for generations to come. This image preserves not only the physical attributes but also captures the essence of reverence that surrounds such sacred art forms.
