Description

This exquisite antique marble statue from a Jain temple stands at 32.5 cm and dates back to the 14th century, showcasing the refined craftsmanship of the period. Originating from Rajasthan, India, the statue depicts Indra, who is recognized as the carrier of a flyfan, and is traditionally portrayed as a companion to Jina images in Jain art.

The intricate details carved in the marble offer insight into the artistic traditions of Indian sculpture, which often emphasizes both aesthetic beauty and spiritual significance. Jain temple art is known for its dedication to the principles of non-violence and reverence for all living beings, reflecting the core beliefs of Jainism.

This statue's dimensions of 14 cm in width and 11 cm in depth complement its impressive height, making it a captivating addition to any collection. The marble's natural color and texture further enhance its historical value, while the weight of 8.5 kg speaks to the solid craftsmanship that has withstood the test of time.

The statue not only embodies the artistic heritage of Rajasthan but also serves as a testament to the rich religious traditions of Jainism, where figures like Indra play significant roles in the narrative of spiritual enlightenment. This piece stands as an enduring symbol of both devotion and artistry from one of the world's oldest cultures.
