O soše
Altarpiece with Buddha Enthroned, made in the mid-twelfth century, is in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Crown and jewelry identify a transcendent Buddha rather than the historical teacher. He meditates with what is interpreted as a lotus flower in bud resting on his hands. A tree above the curving, serpentine niche recalls enlightenment. Small bronze images of this kind served private meditation and tantric ceremonies. Tantric Buddhism became the state religion in the Angkor region during the twelfth century. On view in room 243, Indian and Southeast Asian.
Slovy muzea
The crown and jewels of this Buddha indicate that he is a transcendent Buddha, not the historical Buddha who lived in the 5th century BCE. Small-scale bronze images of transcendent Buddhas were used in tantric practices as personal meditation images or in ritual settings. Tantric Buddhism was adopted as the state religion during the 12th century in the region of Angkor. A depiction of the tree that references the moment of the Buddha’s enlightenment is above the scalloped serpentine form of the niche under which he sits enthroned on an altar. An object interpreted as a lotus bud rests on the hands in his lap as he sits in a posture of meditation.
