Enthroned Jina, Probably Neminatha

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A bronze statue of a seated figure with hands in lap, wearing earrings and a topknot, is set against a gray background. The figure sits cross-legged on a lotus-shaped base. The statue is placed on a bronze platform with carvings and ornate details, supported by four legs. Two decorative figures sit on either side of the platform. The statue has a reddish-brown patina, with a shadow on the gray surface below, suggesting a light source above. Some parts of the platform show green patina. Enthroned Jina, Probably Neminatha.
