Title
Head of Tirthankara
label QS:Len,"Head of Tirthankara"
Description
English: A head of Tirthankara in sandstone is another fragment which, when complete, would have graced a very impressive torso of a Tirthankara from Gujarat or Rajasthan, where traditionally such figures are associated with Jaina temples. Usually located in 52 shrines or devakulikas, seated images of Tirthankaras are placed for special veneration; from the lanchana or identifying iconographic features represented on their seats, one could establish the identity of the Tirthankara. Here, since just the head remains, it is hard to identify any further details. Alternatively, it could possibly be misconstrued as Buddha's head, but due to its stylistic affinity with Western Indian sculptures in marble and the pattern of the coils on the head, one can definitely identify a Jina or Tirthankara from a Buddha.
