Expert’s note: The present lot is related to Parshvanatha, the 23rd Tirthankara, whose symbol is the snake. Jain temples in Western India, such as the Ranakpur Temple in Rajasthan, feature marble carvings of the deity with similar iconography. His mother is said to have seen a black serpent crawling by her side before his birth, and in sculpture and painting he is always identified by a canopy of snake hoods over his head. According to accounts in the Kalpa Sutra, Parshvanatha once saved a serpent that had been trapped in a log in an ascetic’s fire. The snake, later reborn as Dharana, the lord of the underworld kingdom of nagas, sheltered Parshvanatha from a storm sent by a demon.
