  • Antique Indonesian Style Majapahit Standing Bronze Vishnu Statue - Protector & Preserver - 15cm/6"

    Measurements - Height 15cm/6"

    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 stood samabhanga on a round lotus petal pedestal which is itself stood on a decorated pedestal. 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 with a beaded border and flaming rim, topped by a decorative finial. The sculpture has a wonderful dark patina.
