EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Votive Plaque with Buddha Triumphing over Mara, dating back to the 19th century. The exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in this piece of art from Siam, now known as Thailand. In this depiction, we see Buddha seated in the lotus position, his legs crossed and body relaxed in deep meditation. The golden hue of the repoussé gold adds an ethereal glow to the sculpture, emphasizing its sacredness. As he triumphs over Mara, the personification of desire and temptation, Buddha's serene expression radiates wisdom and enlightenment. The artist skillfully captures every intricate feature of this religious ritual object - from the delicate folds of Buddha's robe to the ornate design elements surrounding him. This plaque serves as a testament to both Buddhist beliefs and Thai artistic heritage. Displayed at the renowned Art Institute of Chicago's Asian Arts gallery, this photograph allows viewers to appreciate not only its visual beauty but also its historical significance. It offers a glimpse into centuries-old traditions that continue to inspire countless individuals on their spiritual journeys. As we gaze upon this image captured by an unknown photographer, we are reminded of Buddhism's enduring legacy and its ability to transcend time through artistry and devotion.
