EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century playing card depicts the Enthroned and Crowned Buddha Holding Lotuses, also known as the King of the Buddha Suit, from a Dashavatara (Ten Avatars) Ganjifa Set. The image showcases a regal Buddha figure, enthroned and crowned, with a serene expression as he gracefully holds lotus flowers in each hand. The intricate design of the card is executed in opaque watercolor and gold on cardboard, reflecting the rich artistic heritage of India and Southeast Asia. The setting of the card is reminiscent of the royal courts of Madhya Pradesh or Raghugarh in Central India, where such playing cards were popular as a leisurely pastime among the aristocracy. The use of hues of beige, brown, and gold adds to the antique charm of the piece, while the natural elements of the lotus flowers and the throne enhance the spiritual significance of the image. Buddhism, a major religion in the Asian continent, is reflected in this artwork through the depiction of the Enthroned and Crowned Buddha, who is revered as a monarch and a symbol of enlightenment and wisdom. The lotus flowers, which are considered sacred in Buddhism, further emphasize the religious significance of the card. This artwork is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of India and Southeast Asia during the 19th century, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and diversity of the arts from this region. The card is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
