Seated Jina, c. 1108, 25 x 20 1/2 x 13in. (63.5 x 52.1 x 33cm), Black stone, India, 12th century, In Hinduism (Brahmanism), sculpture serves as a vessel for the divine spirit. In Jainism, sculptures like this one are inanimate and, instead, embody a model of behavior as perfected by the Jina. The Jina (perfected being) is a spiritual victor who has gained release from the world by abiding to strict principles of nonviolence and the abandonment of material possessions. Even physical or mental action is considered a form of material attachment. The Jina, of which there have only been 24 (the last being Jina Mahavira, founder of the Jain faith in the 500s bce), has arrived at the indestructible, immortal, and all-knowing inner soul. This ideal is expressed in the figures perfect stillness.
