About the Item
A well carved Indian white marble Jain temple relief fragment featuring an image of a Jina, circa 12th century, Rajasthan or Gujarat, India.
The Tirthankara (also called a Jina) is an enlightened lord of the Jain religion. Carved from a single block of lustrous white marble, the Jina is portrayed standing upright in kayotsarga upon a lotus within a deeply carved niche. He wears a simple dhoti around his waist, the diaphanous cloth clinging to his legs. A shrivatsa (endless knot) mark, symbolizing attained knowledge, appears on the Jina's chest.
An inscription translated as "Glorious Lord, advance", and most likely a later addition, has been carved to the base, possibly as an act of devotional graffiti.
The white marble with an amazingly mellow and waxy patina from centuries of wear. When illuminated, the piece seems to glow.
Mounted on a custom metal stand.

Located in Austin, TX
A fine and rare Indian carved sandstone stele of a Jain family group, Sarnath style, early Indian Medieval period, 6th-7th century, Uttar Pradesh, India.
Carved from a single block of buff sandstone, the stele features a Jain family group comprised of a father, mother, and two children. The family group is portrayed upon a lotus pedestal under a tall palm tree. The mother and father both seated in a relaxed pose known as lalitasana, or royal ease pose, a jovial expression on their faces. The mother holds the daughter in her lap. The younger son scampers mischievously up the trunk of the palm tree, his head turned to look back at his parents.
Above the family, nestled in a niche amongst the palm fronds, an image of a Jain Tirthankara...
