  • Antique Java Style Majapahit Seated Bronze Vishnu Statue - Protector & Preserver - 11cm/4"

    Measurements Height 11cm/4"

    An antique Java Style standing bronze Vishnu sculpture in the 13th century Majapahit style.

    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 round lotus petal pedestal which it itself set upon a square pedestal.

    The lowered right hand makes the boon bestowing gesture (varada mudra). His left hand holds a lotus flower. This represents purity, compassion and the giving of great joy to all. 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. The sculpture has a wonderful brown patina.
