EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a sacred ritual dance known as the Lama dance, which takes place in Tibet. The image, taken by renowned artist Edmund Candler in approximately 1924, showcases a moment frozen in time during this profound Buddhist tradition. In this vibrant and colorful scene, we witness a male lama dancer with his arms gracefully outstretched. Adorned in an intricate traditional costume and wearing an enigmatic mask, he stands proudly amidst the mesmerizing performance. Surrounding him are other men dressed similarly, all immersed in the religious significance of their movements. The lama dance holds deep spiritual importance within Tibetan Buddhism. It is believed to bless both participants and spectators alike while also serving as a form of meditation and devotion. Through rhythmic steps and symbolic gestures, these dancers connect with higher realms and channel divine energy into their surroundings. Edmund Candler's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the visual beauty but also the cultural richness embedded within this ancient practice. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from "Countries of the World" edited by JA Hammerton, volume six (c1924), our senses are awakened to the profound spirituality that permeates every aspect of Tibetan life. With each glance at this extraordinary piece of artistry captured by Candler's lens, we are transported back to 1920s Tibet – a time when traditions were cherished and celebrated with utmost reverence.
