印度教 Jaïn 祈福祭坛,Pāñcatīrthika 型式,供奉 Mahāvīra(Vardhamāna),纪年 Vikrama Saṃvat 1862(约公元1805–1806),黄铜镀金材质,中心为正面坐姿 Mahāvīra,左右各有一位四位 Tirthankara 站立,总高13 cm,宽9 cm,厚4.5 cm,重515 g,状态非常好,来源 RM Lefevre 收藏,自收藏者之遗孀于2025年购得。
卖家的描述
Remarkable domestically votive Jain altar of the Pāñcatīrthika type, made in yellow bronze, an alloy probably rich in zinc.
The central figure represents Mahāvīra, also named Vardhamāna, the twenty-fourth Tirthankara. He is depicted facing front, seated in meditation, legs crossed and hands joined in the lap in dhyānamudrā.
Mahāvīra is surrounded by four secondary Tirthankaras standing in kāyotsarga, arranged symmetrically two by two. The presence of these five Jinas justifies the designation of the composition Pāñcatīrthika.
The main figure is placed in a deep architectural niche, under a projecting canopy decorated with triangular pendants. The upper part presents a stylized honorific parasol, two elephants facing the central axis, and a crown finished with a conical pinnacle.
The whole is inscribed in a large openwork torana-prabhāvalī, whose regular openings and the different architectural registers evoke the façade of a miniature shrine. The plinth includes a small central edicule housing a meditating figure, accompanied by several secondary figures in devotional postures.
Under the throne appear two lions facing each other. These animals belong to the vocabulary of the sacred throne and also constitute the lāñchana, or traditional emblem, of Mahāvīra. A favourable oval mark visible at the center of the chest can be interpreted as a vernacular representation of the śrīvatsa, a traditional sign associated with Jinas.
The reverse bears a long dedicatory inscription engraved in the metal after casting, presumably at the time of finishing and consecration of the altar. The reading retained identifies the name Vardhamāna and the date Vikrama Saṃvat 1862, corresponding to 1805-1806 of our era, depending on the month and local conversion system.
The work can be attributed to western India, probably Gujarat or Rajasthan, and belongs to the tradition of small domestic Jain shrines produced at the beginning of the 19th century.
Patina
The patina is one of the main interests of this piece.
The surface shows an ancient, complex and stratified patina, combining olive, golden-brown and deep green tones with reddish-pink deposits preserved in the recesses. The raised reliefs are smoother and brighter, while the protected areas retain old oxidations and deposits.
This surface is particularly distinctive compared with patinas commonly observed on small Jain votive altars of this category.
The piece has been preserved exactly in the state in which it was acquired. It has not been cleaned or polished by Mimosa SA.
Condition
Very good condition.
Intact piece, stable and complete, with no restoration, solder, crack or movable element.
The joints, contour irregularities and thickness variations are inherent to casting and artisanal fabrication of the work. The deposits, oxidations and surface variations are compatible with its age and history of use.
Dimensions
Height: 13 cm
Width: 9 cm
Maximum thickness: 4.5 cm
Weight: 515 g
Provenance
RM Lefevre Collection, formed between 1979 and 2009.

Documentation
The work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and a complete illustrated study, established by Olivier Maréchal for Mimosa SA after direct physical examination of the piece and cross-checking with high-definition photographs, video, specialized documentation and museum comparisons.
A museum comparison particularly close in dimensions as well as architectural and iconographic composition is kept at the University of New England Museum of Antiquities, under inventory number MA1997.21.1.
Shipping
The work will be carefully packed and shipped with tracking and insurance. When sending, the buyer will receive a complete file including the real transport cost, tracking information, the certificate, related documents and useful photographs.
For transparency, when the amount paid by the buyer for shipping exceeds the actual charged cost, the difference is automatically refunded as soon as the sale is settled by Catawiki. This procedure has already been applied several times and constitutes a constant commitment of Mimosa SA to its buyers.
