  • Antique Indonesian Style Java Majapahit Standing Bronze Vishnu Statue - Protector & Preserver - 51cm/20"

    Measurements  Height 51cm/20"

    An antique Java Style bronze Vishnu sculpture stood samapada in 13th century Majapahit style.

    Vishnu is both world protector and preserver, restorer of moral order - he is all-powerful and all-pervasive by nature. Here Vishnu is stood samabhanga on a raised, decorated pedestal.

    In his hands Vishnu  holds his gada or mace symbolising his mental and physical strength and mala beads. His lower right hand is held in a gesture that represents his charity. HIs lower left hand in a gesture of teaching. 

    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.

    Vishnu is backed by an aureole. The presence of an aureole or halo symbolises the divinity of the deity.

    The sculpture has a wonderful azurite and malacite patina and is loose mounted on a wood base.

Statue received and it is beautiful!

Tamara, San Francisco, CA, USA

The package arrived today -- very well packed and the statues are very good. I have spent over 30 years in Asia -- quite a bit of that in Thailand and a little in Cambodia and Laos. It has been difficult to find reproductions of this quality and I salute you for your effort and your success.

Michael, Brentwood, MO, USA

The statue has arrived. It is in a very nice position in our main entrance area and looks wonderful;-). Thank you again and best regards.
