About the Item
Sumba Island has maintained a megalithic tradition from the Neolithic times to the present day and is one of the few remaining truly megalithic cultures. Sumba Island Nobility and those of wealth still use megalithic stone slabs to construct human forms or carvings of foliage, animals, sea or other mythical creatures. This statue depicting a chicken is an example of a Sumba Island penji or headstone, in animal form and of considerable age (at least 500 years old to even 1000 years old as indicated by its natural weathering), carved in calciferous volcanic tuff.

17th century Antique stone temple fragment - OriginalBuddhas
Located in DEVENTER, NL
Unearth the ancient whispers of India’s sacred architecture with this Antique stone temple fragment, a 17th-century relic (or possibly older) that carries the spiritual essence and artistry of a bygone era. Carved from natural stone, this enigmatic fragment measures 27.9 cm high, 7.5 cm wide, and 23.2 cm deep, its weathered surfaces etched with traces of intricate motifs—perhaps floral patterns, divine figures, or celestial symbols—that once adorned a grand Hindu or Jain temple.
Originating from India, where temple construction flourished under dynastic patronage, this piece reflects the mastery of stonemasons who transformed rugged stone into narratives of devotion, likely part of a pillar, frieze, or sanctum wall. Weighing 2.1 kgs, its compact yet evocative form bears the patina of centuries, with softened edges and mineral deposits that testify to exposure to the elements and ritual use. The fragment’s abstract geometry and symbolic carvings hint at its original context, whether depicting deities like Shiva, Vishnu, or Tirthankaras, or cosmic themes central to Indian spirituality. Created during a period of architectural splendor under empires like the Mughals or regional kingdoms, it bridges the tangible and the divine, offering a tactile link to India’s temple...
