EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Figure of Padmapani" from the early 9th century. Created by the Javanese School, this bronze sculpture stands at a height of 16 cm and is currently housed in a private collection. The figure depicts Padmapani seated gracefully in Lalitasana on a lotus flower. With his right hand held up in Varamudra, symbolizing granting boons, and his left hand delicately holding a lotus flower, Padmapani emanates an aura of serenity and compassion. He is adorned with traditional dhoti attire and upavita Bodhisattva ornaments. Notable details include the urna on his face, representing spiritual wisdom, as well as the high headdress featuring a figure of Amitabha, the Buddha of Infinite Light. Behind him rests a flaming circular backslab that adds depth to this remarkable sculpture. Originating from Indonesia within Southeast Asia's rich cultural heritage, this piece exemplifies both Javanese artistry and Buddhist symbolism. The intricate craftsmanship beautifully captures the essence of Padmapani's divine presence. Bridgeman Images presents this stunning photograph taken by eChristies Images for Fine Art Finder. It serves as an invaluable glimpse into ancient Asian art history while honoring its significance within Buddhism and Indonesian culture.
