About the Item

An authentic, ancient and exceptional Three Jina Shrine. For it’s age the altarpiece is in a very good condition and rather large. The image of three standing, nude Jinas flanked by the other 21 seated Jinas is rare. The lintel of the shrine is showing the nine comets and three seated figures. EXPERTISE For: Artefact: Large ancient altarpiece / Three Jina shrine (trithirta). Country: India. Culture: Gujarat / Jain. Dated: (1560), 1503 AD. Material: Bronze Lit: Alphen, J., “De Trap naar de Verlossing”, 2500 jaar kunst en religie van het Jaïnisme, Etnografisch Museum Antwerpen, 2000. Remarks: dimensions: height: 26,7 cm. Jains, who had many followers in Gujarat and Rajasthan in Western India, gained religious merit, which would help in their future rebirths, by having such images made and donating them to temples and many such shrines have similar inscriptions. These icons offer an insight into medieval ritual culture and are well worth investigation.

Located in Antwerp, BE
A figurative construction ceramic probably a water collector simply modeled, this head is very expressive and the details can clearly be seen. The Trowulan archaeological site, approximately 100 square kilometres, located in the Mojokerto Regency is believed to contain the remains of what was once the capital city of the Majapahit Empire, featured by 14th century poet Mpu Prapanca in his poem Nagarakretagama. The city was razed during a fight between Girindrawardhana and Kertabhumi in 1478. The Trowulan site is the only archaeological site dating to the Hindu-Buddha classical age to be found in Indonesia. Archaeological remnants and artefacts of the old city in the Trowulan Site were found buried underground as well as on the surface and are still being found today.rtefact:Majapahit terracotta...
