Enthroned Jina, Probably Neminatha (Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2008.279)

Jain Art

A copper alloy sculpture of an enthroned Jina, from Akota, Gujarat, India, late 7th century (667-699 CE). The Metropolitan Museum of Art's own record titles it "Enthroned Jina, Probably Neminatha," a hedged rather than firm identification of the twenty-second Tirthankara. Held today under accession 2008.279, Asian Art department.
