  • Antique Java Style Indonesian Majapahit Seated Bronze Vishnu Statue - Protector & Preserver - 25cm/10"

    Measurements Height 25cm/10"

    An antique Java Style seated bronze Vishnu sculpture in the 13th century Majapahit style, from Indonesia.

    Vishnu is both world protector and preserver, restorer of moral order - he is all-powerful and all-pervasive by nature.

    The Vishnu is seated on a double lotus flower base. He is seated, in virasana, cross-legged symbol of Serenity. The lower right hand holds a lotus bud. The lotus flower represents purity, compassion and the giving of great joy to all. 

    His lower left hand holds a Kalasha. The kalasha is considered a symbol of abundance and "source of life" in the Vedas. It is referred to as "overflowing full vase" in the Vedas. The Kalasha is believed to contain amrita, the elixir of life, and thus is viewed as a symbol of abundance, wisdom, and immortality.

    His upper right hand holds his Mala beads and the upper left his fly whisk. 

    He wears a richly bejewelled dohti and upavita. His face has a downcast gaze. Upon his head he wears a decorative Javanese style tiara in front of his Kirita-Makuta or tall conical crown. This symbolises control over Positive and Negative attitudes.

    On his forehead he has a third eye or urna. He has an aquiline nose and elongated earlobes with large ear rings.

Thanks for our Buddha. He is lovely and has pride of place in the kitchen living area in front of the fire. He looks happy and serene there.
