"I
have a growing collection of wonderful statues from Lotus Sculpture.
I return again and again because of the quality, and the
affordability, but most of all because of what I can only call the
spirit of each piece. The owner, Kyle, has exquisite taste and by
buying a piece from him I know I am supporting artists that love
what they do, and the love shows in what they make. So all I can say
is, I love Lotus Sculpture!"

Write up on the original sculpture
taken from the National Museum, New Delhi: The bronze metal
sculpture is of a Tirthankara, a Jain savior, who sits in the center
with two more Tirthankaras standing in meditation on either side of
the main figure, thus making a group of three Tirthankaras, known as
a Tri-Tirthankara image. On two ends of the pedestal are figures of
a Yaksha and a Yakshi. The central Tirthankara sits on an
embroidered cushion placed on a simhasana (lion throne) whose
centre has the dharmachakra, or the wheel of law, flanked by
two deer. The lion throne, the textile cover or carpet on it and
the cushion all have beautiful designs. On top of the pedestal,
below the Yakshi and Yaksha, are eight heads which symbolize the
eight planets. This beautiful composition dates from circa 650 AD.
and is typical of the Western School from the seventh century
onwards whose examples have been discovered in Gujarat and
Rajasthan.
