…Or could it be that because of my obsession with balance and symmetry I find myself deeply captivated with the art and sculptures from certain religions. Not to mention, their teachings. So much to learn from one another and such little time.

“Buddhism teaches that the path to enlightenment, a state of inner peace and freedom from suffering known as nirvana, is achieved through following the Buddha’s teachings (Dharma) with morality, mediation, and wisdom.”

c. 1st-3rd century A.D.

Hinduism is a religion that I have yet to understand at its fullest but one that intrigues me through the representation of their diverse gods (deities) and the power that they each symbolize. There’s something enchanting about the way they display their manifestations.

This sculpture represents, Ganesha = Remover of obstacles.

Ganesha is the elephant-headed son of Shiva, one of the three most important deities in the Hindu pantheon, and Shiva’s consort, the goddess Parvati. He is widely worshiped as the “remover of obstacles” and the bestower of good fortune, prosperity, and health. The origin of his hybrid body-consisting of an elephant’s head with one tusk and an infant’s torso with distended belly—is related in Hindu legends.
Parvati is said to have created Ganesha in human form to act as her door guardian. When he refused to admit Shiva to Parvati’s chamber, the god cut off the child’s head. In order to placate the distressed Parvati, Shiva replaced the head with that of the first living thing he could find—an elephant. Hindu deities are often depicted with multiple heads and arms, a physical expression of the multiplicity of their superhuman powers. Due to the damaged condition of this superb terracotta relief, it is no longer possible to identify the deity’s usual attributes—an axe, a rosary, and a bowl of sweetmeats-which would have been held in his hands. The serpent hanging across his torso signifies his relationship to Shiva, who also bears this attribute.
Many Hindu brick temples were decorated with terracotta plaques such as this one. The plaques are distinguished by their naturalistic modeling, well illustrated in the sensuous and powerful sculpting of this image, which is unusually expressive and notable for its large size and early date.

•Urn in the Form of Cociyo, God of Lightning and Rain.

Mexico, Oaxaca, Monte Albán Illa, Zapotec culture, Early Classic period,
A.D. 250-600
Acquired in 1985

The primary capital of Zapotec culture was the ceremonial site of Monte Albán (in the nodern state of Oaxaca), where the Zapotecs worshipped a complex pantheon of natur gods. Zapotec culture is divided into four stages, each associated with the style of gray-ware effigy urns they placed with their honored dead.
This urn represents Cociyo, the Zapotec god of lightning and rain, identified by an amalgam of facial elements forming a powerfully sculptural mask. The stepped, two-part forms enclosing the eyes represent clouds and, by extension, the precious water needed to
grow crops. The doubly plugged nasal extension is a development from carlier snouted deity elements that combine jaguar and snake allusions the roar of the jaguar with the reverberation of thunder. The three fangs that protrude from this snout cover a bifurcated tongue, like the almost invisibly flashing tongue of a snake; the snake’s tongue symbolizes the lightning bolt. The broad mouth with drawn-back lips is derived from Olmec prototypes, among which would have been images of the baby rain god. The rest of the dress is as much that of a priest as of a deity, with the large disk-shaped earplugs and the knotted collar of high rank. The striations of the cape may be intended to represent feathers. The kilt is decorated with a wavelike pattem, with three attached tassels at the bottom. The ensemble thus echoes the various natural phenomena of a tropical mountain thunderstorm.

First time at the and although it was a lot smaller than some of the other museums I have visited in the country, their permanent collection makes up for it. Impressed with their sculptures and art. Left inspired to say the least.
