Description

A JAIN BRASS SHRINE OF A TIRTHANKARA, 1900s

Western India, late 19th – early 20th century. Cast in openwork, with the principal image of the Tirthankara seated in dhyanasana on a throne supported on a stepped plinth, surrounded by numerous seated and standing figures of Jinas. The multitude of Jinas evokes the divine preaching hall of the Tirthankara, the Samavasarana.

Inscriptions: The back with a dedicatory inscription in Devanagari script including the dating to Samvat 1654 (corresponding to 1597).

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: Overall good condition with wear, casting irregularities, small nicks, light scratches, some warping and dents, losses to mandorla.

Weight: 949.7 g
Dimensions: Height 17.3

In Jainism, Tirthankara was a savior who succeeded in crossing over life's stream of rebirths, making a path for others to follow. Each cosmic age produces its own group of twenty-four Tirthankaras. Jain Tirthankara shrines are often cast in metal as the cold surface of the metal serves to remind and emphasize the frozen detachment from life. These shrines are not worshiped as personal gods capable of bestowing blessings or interfering with human events, rather as representatives of great beings with a sense of renunciation and the highest virtues. Jain believers pay homage in the hope that they in turn are encouraged along the path towards their final self-liberation.
