EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 16th century artpiece, titled "The Goddess Kalika," showcases the mystical beauty and power of the Hindu goddess Kali. The Goddess is depicted as a woman with a blue-green skin tone, adorned with flowers and holding a lotus flower in one hand and a trident in the other. Seated on a lotus base, she is surrounded by various plants and animals, including a snake coiled around her neck and a reptile at her feet. The Goddess's third eye is open, signifying her all-seeing wisdom, and her tongue is extended, symbolizing her ability to consume ignorance and bestow knowledge. The intricate details of this opaque watercolor and ink on paper drawing reflect the rich artistic heritage of Gujarat, India, during the 1570s. The Goddess's serene expression and the peaceful setting of the image convey her role as a protector and nurturer in Hinduism, a major religion of Asia. The script in the background, written in an unknown language, adds to the mystique and historical significance of this beautiful work of art. The Goddess Kalika is a captivating reminder of the deep spiritual traditions and artistic achievements of South East Asia during the sixteenth century.
