In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to the 800s in Northeastern India. The image showcases a remarkable sculpture titled "Buddha Calling Earth Witness" originating from Bihar, Tetravan during the Pala Period (750-1197). Crafted out of chloritic schist, this magnificent piece stands at an impressive overall height of 94 cm (37 in. ). The sculpture depicts Buddha with his right hand extended downwards towards the earth, as if summoning it to bear witness. His serene expression and graceful posture exude tranquility and wisdom. The intricate details carved into the stone bring forth a sense of reverence and spirituality. This artwork is not just aesthetically pleasing but also holds deep symbolic meaning. It represents Buddha's enlightenment under the Bodhi tree when he called upon Mother Earth to be his witness. This profound moment signifies his awakening and understanding of life's ultimate truths. Through this photo print, we can appreciate both the artistic mastery involved in creating such an exquisite sculpture and its historical significance within Buddhist culture. It serves as a reminder of our connection to nature and our responsibility to honor and protect it. Whether displayed in homes or art galleries, this photograph allows us to marvel at the beauty captured within this ancient masterpiece while inviting contemplation on life's deeper meanings.
