    Golgatha
    (215 items)

    ... only 4 cm high !, cast from bronze and found at a flea market. The seller started with the quivalent of USD 70. I got him down to the equivalent of USD 36, which is probably still way too much. When you go to flea markets, you end up going home with other people's souvenirs from far away countries. Maybe you can tell me something about it ? The base was made by yours truly.

      Feng Shui or an Chasong maybe for the tea
    2. apostata apostata, 2 years ago
      you have to asked H2O, i forgot the name in Thai , i thought Chasang
    3. Golgatha Golgatha, 2 years ago
      Thanks Prostata ! Any idea about how old ?
    4. apostata apostata, 2 years ago
      no i judt don,t know
    5. Golgatha Golgatha, 2 years ago
      It has now been suggested that it's Jina from the Indian Jain religion. So now I only hope to find out how old it is and how to display such a small statuette ? Any ideas ?
    6. apostata apostata, 2 years ago
      Whatever , IMO it is just a FENG SHui

      IF you want to define it as JAin , no sweat as long as you don,t define it Mahavir Jayanti for the obvious reasons

      Feng Shui figuur, miniatuur meditatie where is the symbol on his chest ? ) if a monk why big ears

      so to be honest i do not know, maybe pocket ware for travelling , this could be anything even myanmar, i thought i am not sure call they it chasang
    7. apostata apostata, 2 years ago
      i am chaotic sorry ( medicines) , just remember

      Whatever , IMO it is just a FENG SHui

      IF you want to define it as JAin , no sweat as long as you don,t define it Mahavir Jayanti for the obvious reasons

      Thanks again. Now I'm confused at a higher level.
    9. apostata apostata, 2 years ago
      how do you mean more confused have you seen the head gear and there is no emblem on the chest,depends of the size,


      I wonder what are the criteria for a jain mutrhi invocation if you get a monk is that possible , because the manifistation could be a god already, don,t you need a praktisch murthi, manifestation

      2 questions it,is a awfull small jahri muthri for a grah chaityalay ain,t it

    10. apostata apostata, 2 years ago
      PUJA could be the exemption = the principle of God with no shape, so you are not constricted to the a size grah chatyaqlay, i aqm just quessing
    11. Golgatha Golgatha, 2 years ago
      Is the mark on his chest not a srivatsa ? Excuse me for my rusti Hindi. I wonder how
      old the figure is ? Does anyone know ?
    12. apostata apostata, 2 years ago
      The eternal knot, sometimes called the “endless knot” or “the glorious knot” is called ????????? or palbeu in Tibetan. In Sanskrit, it is called shrivasta. Because the knot has no beginning and no end, the eternal knot symbolizes the endless wisdom and compassion of the Buddha.(auspicious )symbol

      i don,t know how old it is
