This antique marble statue from India, featuring Parshvanatha, the 23rd Tirthankar, stands at an impressive height of 101 cm. Crafted during the 15th century or earlier, the statue is a magnificent representation of Jain art and spirituality. Parshvanatha is revered in Jainism for his teachings on non-violence and renunciation, making this piece not just a decorative item but a symbol of profound philosophical significance.

The statue is meticulously carved from marble, with remarkable details including snakes at the top and lions at the bottom, which are common motifs in Jain sculpture, symbolizing protection and strength.
