Ancient devotional sculpture of a Jina in kāyotsarga position, one of the 24 masters of Jainism

Rare devotional sculpture of a Jina, one of the twenty-four teachers of Jainism.
The Tīrthaṅkara stands in the kāyotsarga position, resting on a multi-tiered square pedestal. His iconography embodies auspicious attributes: his long arms reach close to his knees, his shoulders are broad and rounded, and his earlobes are elongated.
The body is naked or 'dressed in air' refers to the Digambara tradition, one of the two primary currents of the Jain tradition. Figuratively speaking, the master is devoid of clothes and ornaments because he is free from all material goods.
The face is abraded from constant veneration.
Beautiful patina, soft-touch surface and free from roughness.
