About the Item
This antique sandstone Jain fragment, originating from India, dates back to the 10th-12th century and stands at a height of 70 cm. Crafted from sandstone, this striking piece features a depiction of a sitting tīrthaṅkara within a miniature shrine, flanked by two standing naked yakṣas. These elements indicate its association with the Digambara sect, one of the major schools of Jainism, which emphasizes renunciation and asceticism.
The detailed sculptural style reflects the artistry and devotion characteristic of Jain art during this period. The tīrthaṅkara is shown seated in a meditative posture, symbolizing tranquility and spiritual enlightenment, which are central tenets of Jain philosophy. The presence of yakṣas highlights auspiciousness and protection, signifying their role as guardians in Jain belief.
Jainism has a rich history in India, focusing on non-violence, truth, and ascetic living, which has significantly influenced Indian culture and spirituality. This fragment not only serves as an exquisite decorative artwork but also represents a vital cultural heritage, encapsulating centuries of religious devotion and artistic achievement. The piece weighs 33.15 kg and measures 56 cm in width and 20 cm in depth, with an external valuation report available upon request.
