    Antique A Collection of Jain Gods and Dieties

    India
    1960s
    Range in size from approximately 18 x 11 to 19 x 12 cm

     

    The eyes in these pieces are typical in Jain art.
     
    These are Arihants and Siddhas, considered Gods of Jain religion.
    An Arihant is a being who conquers all inner passions and possesses infinite right knowledge. They may also be referred to as Jinas (conquerors) or Kevalin (omniscient beings). An Arihant is one who has destroyed all passions, is totally unattached and without any desire and hence is able to destroy bad karma and attain omniscience. Arihats are perfect human beings and preach the Jain religion to the people during their remaining life.
     
    After death they become Siddhas, perfected souls, living for ever in a blissful state and free from the cycle of birth and death.
     
    These images are drawn on antique manuscript paper. At the back of each is text.
     
    If there is interest, I will provide other details/information available prior to purchase.
