EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite doorjamb, hailing from the late 5th century, showcases the rich artistic heritage of South Asia. Discovered in an undisclosed location in India or Southeast Asia, this red sandstone artifact is a testament to the intricate carving techniques that were prevalent during this period. The doorjamb is adorned with a divine guardian figure, his muscular form and serene expression conveying a sense of protection and tranquility. The figure is dressed in elaborate garments, with his arms crossed in front of his chest, holding a small object in his right hand, possibly a lotus bud or a mace. The intricate details of the carving, from the delicate folds of the fabric to the expressive features of the figure, are a testament to the skill and artistry of the unknown craftsman. This doorjamb is now a part of the esteemed collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), adding to its vast repository of Asian art. The doorjamb's vibrant red color and intricate carvings make it a standout piece, not only in LACMA's collection but also in the annals of South Asian art history.
