Date: 9th-10th century.This Digambara icon from the Deccan shows a jina meditating beneath a flowering tree, follow the conventions seen in Buddhist sculptures of the period. As in Buddhist images, the jina is flanked by attendants--the nature-deity yaksha and yakshi replacing the bodhisattvas--and fly-whisk bearers gesturing their readiness to fan him. A lion-supported throne and triple umbrellas confirm the regal status.
