With a width of 9.1 cm and a depth of 7.2 cm, this piece is not only a testament to the spiritual heritage of Jainism but also a beautiful decorative object that conveys the cultural depth and historical significance of its origins. Weighing 927 grams, it retains the charm and character of many years, making it a unique collectible for those who appreciate the intersection of spirituality and art.
