We have documented seventeen 峁氠梗补产丑补苍腻迟丑补 sculptures (twelve from Purulia, two from Bankura and three from Burdwan) of this variety from the preset study region.

Among the 笔补帽肠补-迟墨谤迟丑颈办补 type of 峁氠梗补产丑补苍腻迟丑补 images the Kumbhasthal specimen is seated in 辫补诲尘腻蝉补苍补 on a full-blown double-petalled lotus-pedestal having several indistinct figures. A clear depiction of a bull is seen at the centre of this lotus-pedestal. The carving of the image has resulted in a svelte figure strengthened by the so-called yogic or spiritual power. He has meditative eyes (诲丑测腻苍补-尘耻诲谤腻), elongated ear-lobes and a coiffure of schematic curls with a distinct 耻峁ａ箛墨峁�a. The 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 is flanked by two elegantly jewelled male 肠补耻谤墨-bearers. The upper part of the stele shows the usual garland-bearing 惫颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补-couples on both sides and its edges have two miniature figures of 诲丑测腻苍墨 images of 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补s on each side of the 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补. The respective 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补蝉 of the miniature 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补s are carved on the small pedestals placed below them, but due to abrasions none of these are recognizable. The back-slab of this 辫补帽肠补-迟墨谤迟丑颈办补 image consists of a finely carved miniature temple whose embellishments are unfortunately quite abraded. Made of greyish stone and measuring 63 cm x 40 cm.

The famous Jain site Pakbirra also possesses three 辫补帽肠补-迟墨谤迟丑颈办补 classes of 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 峁氠梗补产丑补苍腻迟丑补 image. Among these three images two are earlier reported (Bhattacharyya, Mitra & Bhowmick 1986: 151, Plate 30) by scholars. The bigger one is measure 99 cm x 50 cm x 12 cm and made of quartzite schist. In this image the Jina standing in 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补 posture on a double-petalled lotus placed on a 辫补帽肠补-ratha pedestal. The bull, 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补, carved in the central projection of the pedestal, while the inner facets are embellished with tiny figures of devotees in namask膩ra-尘耻诲谤腻 (folded hands) one on the dexter side and two on the sinister side, respectively. The 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补 wears a 箩补峁���-尘耻办耻峁璦 with curls falling down the sides of the head and over the shoulders. An elliptical 艣颈谤补艣肠补办谤补 with leafed edge adorns the head of the Saviour. Above the 艣颈谤补艣肠补办谤补 is the depiction of a small three-tiered parasol flanked by two 惫颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补s holding long garlands, which is surmounted by representation of two disembodied hands playing 迟补尘尘补峁璦 and 箩补测补驳丑补峁璦. The Jain is flanked on both sides by male 肠补耻谤墨-bearers with haloes behind their heads. Their left hands are in 办补峁瓂腻惫补濒补尘产颈迟补 posture and the right hands hold a fly-whisk. On the edges of the back slab miniature figures of four 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补s arranged in two each on either side of the 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补 are depicted. Like the principal image, they also stand in 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补 posture on a double-petalled lotus and their respective 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补蝉 are carved at the centre of their lotus thrones. The back throne of the image consists of posts decorated with mouldings and criss-cross scratched pilasters, supporting a horizontal cross-bar with lightly incised square rhizomes at its ends, above which there are triangular fleurons. The entire image is iconographically very sophisticated.

The next one is smaller than the earlier one and measures 82 cm x 37 cm x 15 cm. The Jina wears an elongated 箩补峁���-尘耻办耻峁璦 and is provided with an ovoidal 艣颈谤补艣肠补办谤补 embellished with rows of beads and leaves at the edges. On his either side are two miniature figures of Jinas in 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补 posture. The 辫帽肠补-谤补迟丑补 pedestal below reveals a bull, the 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补, flanked by two crouching lions. On the extreme right end of the pedestal is a figure of a kneeling devotee in a帽jali-尘耻诲谤腻. Fly-whisk bearing attendants, 惫颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补s, 肠丑补迟谤补迟谤补测墨, heavenly hands beating on musical instruments are all present in the parikara.

The last one is very small and recently found from the temple mound at Pakbirra. The image of 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 峁氠梗补产丑补苍腻迟丑补 is made of quartzite schist and measure 36 cm x 25 cm x 5 cm. From the circular 峁�i谤补峁�c补办谤补 with plain edges adorning the Jina鈥檚 head issue two flowering branches with two tiny rosettes above, surmounted by a chatra flanked by two garland-bearing 惫颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补s. The usual male 肠补耻谤墨-bearers on individual lotus-pedestals flank the Jina. At the sides of the back-slab are miniature figures of four 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补s, two on either side. The bull 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补 is clearly discernible in the 辫补帽肠补谤补迟丑补 pedestal.

We have documented two images of 峁氠梗补产丑补苍腻迟丑补 from Ani-Jambad. Among them one is a well preserved specimens and measures 69 cm x 32 cm x 11.5 cm and presently housed in a modern Jain temple of the site. The remaining one is presently display in the Haripada Sahitya Mandir at Purulia town. Both of them are made of chlorite stone. The 峁氠梗补产丑补苍腻迟丑补 image, which is in the site, is newly discovered and installed in the modern Jain temple along with the earlier Jain images (5 specimens). The lower portion of rectangular back slab of the image was decorated with two stiff and robust looking 肠补耻谤墨-bearers, who are the attended of the 尘奴濒补苍腻测补办补, profusely bejewelled, with their outer hands in 办补峁瓂腻惫补濒补尘产颈迟补 posture and their inner hands holding 肠腻尘补谤补蝉, wearing short, almost transparent lower garments and simple ornaments. In the middle portion of the slab four miniature 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补s, two on either side of the 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补, with their respective 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补蝉 carved against the double-petalled lotus pedestals. The central portion of the top of this slab is crowned by a triple parasol, flanked on both sides by disembodied hands playing on drums. Two 惫颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补s hover in clouds, holding long garlands. The finely carved Jina bears a svelte figure, a lucid expression. The 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补 has elongated earlobes, and wears an elegant 箩补峁�膩ju峁璦 with 办别艣补-惫补濒濒补谤墨 falling down the sides of the head and over the shoulders. An almost circular 艣颈谤补艣肠补办谤补 decorated with intricate patterns of beads and flam tongued border devices adorns the head of the saviour. The centre of the tri-ratha pedestal has a bull, the 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补 of the 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补, placed between two crouching lions with their tails folded and turned upwards.

The museum specimen, which is partially damaged (head of the image is missing and others), measurs 84 x 40 x 20 cm and iconographically is very much similar with the other image from the site. The image has an elongated 辫谤补产丑腻 is embellished with beaded and flame-tongued border devices and has a flowering twing on the either side. Interstingly tiny figures of two devotees is depicted, in namask膩ra尘耻诲谤腻 (folded hands), on the left side of the 肠补耻谤墨-bearer just above the 辫补帽肠补-ratha pedestal.

峁氠梗补产丑补苍腻迟丑补 from Pabrapahari is 辫补帽肠补迟茂谤迟丑颈办补 type; pedestal: triratha; quartzite schist; 70 x 37 x 15 cm. The depictions of the elongated ear-lobes, 箩补峁�膩ju峁璦 and the 办别艣补-惫补濒濒补谤墨 are quite prominent of the 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补. An elliptical 艣颈谤补艣肠补办谤补 with leafed edge adorns the head of the Saviour. On either side of the 艣颈谤补艣肠补办谤补 on the back-slab are figures of 惫颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补s holding long garlands. The representation of the heavenly hands playing a drum is present. The 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补 is flanked by two male 肠补耻谤墨-bearers standing in 腻产丑补峁単补 posture on their respective pedestals and their left hands are in 办补峁瓂腻惫补濒补尘产颈迟补 posture and the right hands hold the fly-whisk. At the centre of the pedestal is the minutely carved bull 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补 flanked by two tiny seated Jinas; at either end of the pedestal are two crouching lions turned towards seated devotees with hands in namask膩ra 尘耻诲谤腻.

An erodad specimen of this type of 峁氠梗补产丑补苍腻迟丑补 image (85 x 35 x 13 cm) is presently worshipped in the Deulbhira (Haroptore) located in the Para Police Station. The image made of quartzite schist. The depictions of the elongated ear-lobes, 箩补峁�膩ju峁璦 and the 办别艣补-惫补濒濒补谤墨 are quite prominent of the 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补. An elliptical 艣颈谤补艣肠补办谤补 with beads edge adorns the head of the Saviour. Two flower motifs (containing two leaves and a flower) are neatly carved as issuing out from the upper part of the 艣颈谤补艣肠补办谤补 on its either side. These motifs could be the stylized rendering of the 肠补颈迟测补惫峁沰蝉补 of the 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补. The two 惫颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补s holding long garlands are depicted on the extreme top most corners of the rectangular back slab. The depictions of the clouds are noteworthy. The representation of the heavenly hands playing a drum is present. Above the 艣颈谤补艣肠补办谤补 a partially damaged tri-linear chatra is depict. The 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补 is flanked by two male 肠补耻谤墨-bearers standing in 腻产丑补峁単补 posture and their left hands are in 办补峁瓂腻惫补濒补尘产颈迟补 posture and the right hands hold the flywhisk. Unfortuantely it is not possible to study the details of the pedestal of this image because it is now plastered. The back throne of the image consists of posts decorated with mouldings and criss-cross scratched pilasters, supporting a horizontal cross-bar with lightly incised square rhizomes at its ends, above which there are triangular fleurons. On the projected part of the back-slab there are four miniature Jinas standing in 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补 posture on double-petalled pedestals, two in either side of the 尘奴濒补苍腻测补办补. Due to the regular worship the iconographic details of this image is gradually undergone.

The pa帽ca迟墨谤迟丑颈办补 type of 峁氠梗补产丑补苍腻迟丑补 image from Baramoshya (Pl.XVII.A) is iconographically very much similar to the earlier images mentioned here, though the upper part of the back slab of the image is badly damaged. The extant image measures 38 cm x 38 cm x 12 cm. In this image the 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补 stands in 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补 posture on a double-petalled lotus placed on a tri-ratha pedestal. The surviving portion of the body of 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补 shows his svelte form with the arms hanging down vertically along the torso while the finger tips touch the thighs on either side. The Jina is flanked on both sides by stout male 肠补耻谤墨-bearers standing on separate double-petalled lotus pedestals. The carving technique renders these 肠补耻谤墨-bearers an almost three-dimensional realistic portrayal. Their left hands are in 办补峁瓂腻惫补濒补尘产颈迟补 posture while the right hands hold a fly-whisk. The remaining portion of the edge of the back鈥搒lab is relieved with four figures of miniature Jinas arranged in two each on either side. Like the principle image they also stand in 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补 posture with their respective 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补蝉 carved below each on a small lotus throne. The miniature 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补s on the lower register do not stand on lotus pedestals, however, their 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补蝉 are depicted on a moulding like base. The pedestal of the image is of considerable iconographic interest. A stylized lotus creeper with scroll leaves and buds occupies the centre of the pedestal below which there is the decorated bull, the identifying cinha of the Jina. The bull is flanked by a male and a female devotee kneeling in namask膩ra-尘耻诲谤腻 and facing the 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补. Two crouching lions facing opposite directions are depicted on either end of the pedestal.

The 峁氠梗补产丑补苍腻迟丑补 image (Pl.XVII.B) of Rajnoagarh is badly eroded and made of quartzite schist; 75 x 35 x 14 cm. Faint outlines of an elongated halo is visible and two flower rosettes are carved on either side of the upper part of the nimbus. Divine hands playing musical instruments are flanking the triple chatra. Of the two crudely modeled 肠补耻谤墨-bearers flanking the Jina, at least the one to the right is standing in cross-legged posture. The slightly curved top of the back-slab seems to be bordered by a row of beaded or floral motifs.

A similar type of 峁氠梗补产丑补苍腻迟丑补 image was discovered from Purulia district and presently displayed in the Vangiya Sahitya Parisad Museum, Vishnupur, Bankura. The image is made of quartzite schist and measure 56 cm x 27 cm x 7 cm

Partially damaged image of 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 峁氠梗补产丑补苍腻迟丑补 from Sakra/Sankra is made of schist and measure 46 cm x 28 cm x 5 cm. From the circular 艣颈谤补艣肠补办谤补 with leafed edges adorning the Jina鈥檚 head issue two flowering branches with two tiny rosettes above, surmounted by a chatra flanked by two garland-bearing 惫颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补s. The usual male 肠补耻谤墨-bearers on individual lotus-pedestals flank the Jina. At the sides of the back-slab are miniature figures of four 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补s, two on either side. The bull 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补 is clearly discernible in the 辫补帽肠补-ratha pedestal.

The 峁氠梗补产丑补苍腻迟丑补 image from Golamara measures 45 cm x 25 cm x 5cm. The 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补 stands in 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补 posture on a double-petalled lotus placed on a 辫补帽肠补-ratha pedestal. The bull 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补 is neatly carved on the centre of the pedestal along with two devotees in namask膩ra-尘耻诲谤腻 (folded hands). At the end of the pedestal, a crouching lion is depicted. The 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补, obviously devoid of any worldly attire, has elongated ear-lobes and wears an elegant 箩补峁�膩ju峁璦 with 办别艣补-惫补濒濒补谤墨 falling down the sides of the head and over the shoulders. The Jina stands under a trefoil arch surmounted by a three-tiered chatra. On either side of the 艣颈谤补艣肠补办谤补 on the back-slab are figures of 惫颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补s holding long garlands. The representation of the heavenly hands playing a drum is present. The back-slab also depicts 4 miniature Jinas standing in 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补 posture on double-petalled pedestals, 2 on either side of the Jina. The 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补 is flanked by 2 male 肠补耻谤墨-bearers standing in 腻产丑补峁単补 posture on their respective pedestals and their left hands are in 办补峁瓂腻惫补濒补尘产颈迟补 posture and the right hands hold the fly-whisk.

A similar type of image of 峁氠梗补产丑补苍腻迟丑补 has been reported from Ulda (Pl.XVII.C) The 辫补帽肠补谤补迟丑补 pedestal of the image bears the depiction of bull 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补 of the 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 at the central portion. Two crouching lions facing opposite directions are depicted on either end of the pedestal. The facial portion of this image is partially damaged. From the oval 艣颈谤补艣肠补办谤补, of this image, with leafed edges adorning the Jina鈥檚 head issue two flowering branches with two tiny rosettes above, surmounted by a chatra flanked by two garland-bearing 惫颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补s. Other iconic details of this image are very much similar with the earlier image. This is made of quartzite schist stone and measure 38 x 23 x 10 cm.

A 辫补帽肠补-迟墨谤迟丑颈办补 type of 峁氠梗补产丑补苍腻迟丑补 image was found from Ayodhya and presently displayed in the VSP Museum, Bishnupur, Bankura (Pl.XVII.D). In this image Jina stands in 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补 posture, on a double-petalled lotus placed on a 辫补帽肠补-ratha pedestal. At the centre of the pedestal, the bull 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补 is minutely carved along with two crouching lions at both ends of the pedestal. The 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补 is flanked by two male 肠补耻谤墨-bearers standing in dvi-vanga posture on their respective pedestals and their left hands are in 办补峁瓂腻惫补濒补尘产颈迟补 posture and the right hands hold fly-whisks. They are wearing short almost transparent lower garments and simple ornaments including armlets, wristlets and ekavali. The stele also contains four miniature Jinas standing in 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补 posture on double-petalled pedestals, two in either side of the 尘奴濒补苍腻测补办补. The finely carved 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补 bears a svelte figure, a lucid expression and the yogic or spiritual power is successfully reflected. The arms of the Jina hang down vertically along the stiff torso and the finger tips touch the thigh on either side. He has the usual 箩补峁�膩尘耻办耻峁璦 and 办别艣补-惫补濒濒补谤墨 and an elliptical 艣颈谤补艣肠补办谤补 embellished with beads and line border devices. Like the earlier image, the kevala-tree is depicted above and on both sides of the 艣颈谤补艣肠补办谤补. The trilinear chatra is present. The 艣颈谤补艣肠补办谤补 is flanked on both sides by disembodied hands playing on drums and a 惫颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补 holding long garlands and hovering in the clouds. This drum motif is not frequently found in other Jina images in the study area. The parikara elements are somehow overwhelmed by the sheer three-dimensionality (deep carving) of the 尘奴濒补苍腻测补办补. This difference in relief depth within the same stele has minimized the elevation of the entire image (as is usually seen in some Orissan and central Indian Jain sculptures of the early medieval period). The organization of space on both sides of the Jina is quite congested.

An image of 峁氠梗补产丑补苍腻迟丑补 (100 x 50 x 12 cm) has been documented from Kaitara (Pl.XVII.E). This image is highly abraded due to the regular worship of the local villagers and the pedestal is partilly damaged. The Jina stands in 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补 posture on a full bloomed lotus-pedestal. The iconographic features can hardly be identified as the image is abraded. The stele is embellished with four figures of 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补s besides flying gandharvas. The two male 肠补耻谤墨-bearers are present.

A well executed specimen of 峁氠梗补产丑补苍腻迟丑补 (32 cm x 26 cm x 8 cm) image has been documented from the Kudu village (Pl.XVII.F). In this image the Jina stands in 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补 posture on a full bloomed lotus-pedestal. The pedestal of the image is not completely visible. Inonographically this image is closely similar with the other image of this variety described above; however, the Jina has elegant 箩补峁�膩ju峁璦 with 办别艣补惫补濒濒补谤墨 falling down the sides of the head and over the shoulders. The top of the back slab is pointed and the Jina has stylized trilinear chatra. The back slab contains four miniature 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补s, two on either side of the 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补, with their respective 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补蝉 carved against the double-petalled lotus pedestals. The two male 肠补耻谤墨bearers are present.

In 2013 an image of this variety of 峁氠梗补产丑补苍腻迟丑补 image was unearted from a pond during its renovation works from Baidyapur village of Kalna sub-division. The image is weathered though the iconographic details of this image can easily be studied. Iconographically this is very much similar with the Kaitara image. The image is measures 45 x 32 x 10 cm and made of quartzite schist stone.
