This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient artistry, titled "Sandstone, Cambodia, second half of the 11th century (BUDDHA ON THE NAGA)". The photograph captures an exquisite sandstone statue that dates back to the 11th century in Cambodia. This masterpiece depicts Buddha seated gracefully on the mythical creature known as Naga, symbolizing protection and enlightenment. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring; every curve and contour of both Buddha and Naga has been meticulously carved into the sandstone. The serene expression on Buddha's face exudes tranquility and wisdom, while his hands rest gently on his lap in a meditative pose. Adorned with intricate jewelry and draped in flowing robes, he emanates divine grace. Naga, resembling a sea serpent with multiple heads rising behind Buddha's backrests beneath him as if providing support. Its presence represents cosmic energy intertwining with spiritual awakening.
