His face with downcast eyes and serene expression, flanked by elongated earlobes, the hair arranged in tight curls and surmounted by a cranial protrusion. The stone with a good polish, resulting in a smooth, unctuous feel overall.

Provenance: German trade. European private collection, acquired from the above.

Jainism was established in India around the sixth century BC and flourished alongside Hinduism and Buddhism. The ultimate goal of the Jains or ‘conquerors’ was to achieve liberation from the cycle of reincarnations. They worship a group of twenty-four Supreme Teachers or Tirthankaras, arihants who after attaining kevala jnana (pure infinite knowledge) preach the dharma. An arihant is also called Jina (victor), one who has conquered inner enemies such as anger, attachment, pride, and greed.

Literature comparison:
Compare a closely related figure of a Jain tirthankara from Jaipur, Rajasthan, 14.7 cm high, dated 18th century, in the Victoria & Albert Museum, accession number IM.346-1924.
