"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.
Special Features: This piece is the embodiment of all that was beautiful about the work of the artists of the Pala period. It is a stunning work of balance and proportion. There is so much detail and beauty in the piece that you find your eye wandering over the piece taking in all the beautiful details it has to offer.
A beautiful work of Pala art!
