賣家描述
Remarkable domestically votive Jain altar of the Pāñcatīrthika type, cast 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 dhyānamudrā on the lap.
Mahāvīra is surrounded by four secondary Tirthankaras standing in kāyotsarga, arranged symmetrically two by two. The presence of these five Jinas justifies the designation Pāñcatīrthika composition.
The main figure is set in a deep architectural niche, under a projecting canopy decorated with triangular pendants. The upper part presents a stylized royal umbrella, two elephants turned toward the central axis, and a crown ending in a conical pinnacle.
The whole is inscribed in a large, openwork torana-prabhāvalī, whose regular openings and different architectural registers suggest the façade of a miniature shrine. The socle includes a small central shrine housing a meditating figure, accompanied by several secondary figures in devotional postures.
Under the throne appear two rooks facing each other. These animals belong to the vocabulary of the sacred throne and also constitute the lāñchana, or traditional emblem, of Mahāvīra. A fortuitous 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 cast in metal after the pouring, presumably at the time of the finishing and consecration of the altar. The reading retained identifies the name Vardhamāna and the date Vikrama Saṃvat 1862, corresponding to 1805-1806 CE, according to 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 in the early 19th century.
Patina
The patina is one of the main attractions of this piece.
The surface shows an ancient, complex and stratified patina, combining olive, golden-brown and deep green hues with reddish and pinkish deposits preserved in the recesses. The exposed reliefs are smoother and brighter, while the protected areas retain oxidations and ancient deposits.
This surface is particularly unusual compared with patinas typically observed on small votive Jain 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.
Conservation status
Very good conservation status.
Intact piece, stable and complete, without restoration, welding, cracks or movable elements.
The gaps, contour irregularities and thickness variations are inherent to the casting and artisanal manufacture of the work. Deposits, oxidations and surface variations are compatible with its age and history of use.
