Description: An authentic, ancient and exceptional Three Jina Shrine. For it’s age the altarpiece is in a very good condition and … more An authentic, ancient and exceptional Three Jina Shrine. For it’s age the altarpiece is in a very good condition and rather large. The image of three standing, nude Jinas flanked by the other 21 seated Jinas is rare. The lintel of the shrine is showing the nine comets and three seated figures. EXPERTISE For: Artefact: Large ancient altarpiece / Three Jina shrine (trithirta). Country: India. Culture: Gujarat / Jain. Dated: (1560), 1503 AD. Material: Bronze Lit: Alphen, J., “De Trap naar de Verlossing”, 2500 jaar kunst en religie van het Jaïnisme, Etnografisch Museum Antwerpen, 2000. Remarks: dimensions: height: 26,7 cm. Jains, who had many followers in Gujarat and Rajasthan in Western India, gained religious merit, which would help in their future rebirths, by having such images made and donating them to temples and many such shrines have similar inscriptions. These icons offer an insight into medieval ritual culture and are well worth investigation. less
