EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Statue of Jayarajadevi in the guise of the Buddhist deity Tara or Prajnaparamita". Carved from sandstone by a talented Cambodian artist, this masterpiece measures 130x51 cm and is currently housed at Musee Guimet in Paris, France. The statue depicts Jayarajadevi, the first wife of King Jayavarman VII, assuming the form of either Tara or Prajnaparamita. With closed eyes and a serene smile on her face, she exudes an aura of tranquility and inner peace. Her kneeling posture conveys adoration while her arms would have been positioned either in prayer or offering. Adorned with a majestic headdress that symbolizes royalty, this sculpture exemplifies the remarkable craftsmanship prevalent during Cambodia's Angkorian period. The intricate carvings and attention to detail showcase the mastery of its creator. Belonging to Bayon style architecture commonly found in Angkor temples like Preah Khan, this holy representation reflects both spiritual devotion and artistic brilliance. Its significance lies not only in its religious symbolism but also as a testament to Khmer culture and history. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring artwork captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and grace embodied by Jayarajadevi. This image serves as a reminder of Cambodia's rich heritage and invites us to appreciate its cultural treasures that continue to inspire generations worldwide.
