Description

1100-year-old authentic rare Jain Tirthankara Neminath statue carved from genuine Asthadhatu (8 metals).  Ashtadhatu, also known as octo-alloy, is a metal alloy that is commonly used in the casting of metallic idols in Jain and Hindu temples in India. In Hinduism, Ashtadhatu is utilized because it is exceedingly clean, sattvic of Sattva, and does not decay. Gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, tin, iron, and antimony or mercury are the traditional constituents. All eight metals are present in equal proportions in authentic Ashtadhatu. However, even if the specific composition of an alloy idol is unknown, it is frequently referred to as Ashtadhatu. Because of their sanctity and scarcity, these pristine idols are frequently stolen.

Parshvanatha, also known as Parshva and Paras, was the 23rd of 24 Tirthankaras of Jainism. He is the only Tirthankara who has received the title Kalkkalpataru. He is one of the first Tirthankaras to be recognized as a historical figure. This figure portrays Parshvanatha seated in Padmasana beneath the Ashoka Vruksh (the divine tree), with parikar (demigods) surrounding Tirthankar on both sides, playing instruments such as the flute, veena, drum, and blowing counch. The demigods holding garlands, as well as the lions and elephants in pairs. This antique’s carving is incredible, and a comparable antique like this is rare to achieve. The sculpture has never been cleaned and has a perfect amount of oxidation on him that is prized for its authentic antique feel.
