EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Green Tara, a folio from a dispersed Ashtasahasrika Prajnaparamita (Perfection of Wisdom) Manuscript dating back to the early 12th century. Created by an unknown artist, this artwork is a testament to the rich heritage and artistic prowess of Bengal, Bangladesh. The image depicts Green Tara, a revered female deity in Mahayana Buddhism, enshrined in vibrant green color. Seated gracefully with her legs crossed and hands in meditative mudra, she exudes serenity and compassion. The intricate calligraphy surrounding her adds depth and meaning to this religious portrait. Painted using opaque watercolor on palm leaf, this masterpiece reflects the skillful craftsmanship prevalent during that era. The use of watercolors brings out the richness of colors while preserving its historical significance. Housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artifact represents the fusion of Indian and Tibetan Buddhist influences seen throughout Hindoostan (India). It serves as a reminder of our shared spiritual journey across different cultures and time periods. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back centuries ago when devotion to religion was expressed through artistry. This print allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the profound symbolism behind each stroke – an enduring testament to humanity's quest for enlightenment.
