Description

A BLACK STONE HEAD OF A JAIN TIRTHANKARA, GUJARAT

India, 12th century or later. Sensitively carved with soft, gentle curves and covered in tightly coiled snail-shell curls arranged in U-form rows extending to the back. The half-closed eyes with heavy lids conveying a meditative state of deep contemplation. The ears with elongated lobes, symbolizing the renunciation of material wealth.

Provenance: R. M. Collection, Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, Belgium, acquired between 1979 and 2009, thence by descent to his wife Marie-Anne Lefevre in 2023.
Condition: Fair condition, commensurate with age. Wear, obvious losses, some rubbing, natural fissures, signs of weathering and erosion, and encrustations.

Weight: 3,164 g (excl. stand), 4,893 g (incl. stand)
Dimensions: Height 16 cm (excl. stand), 21.3 cm (incl. stand)

With an associated stand. (2)

Jainism is propagated through the stories of twenty-four tirthankaras, figures who have conquered samsara (the cycle of death and rebirth) and provide others a bridge to follow them to moksha (liberation). The soft rounded facial contours are juxtaposed with strongly pronounced features. The long straight nose contrasts the small bow-shaped mouth and round protruding chin. Even the symmetrically arranged tight curls of the hair are both precise and delicate, the overall effect creating an idealized image that is benevolently powerful.
