Trimurti Statue - Antique Indonesian Style Trimurti Shiva Brahma Vishnu Statue - 32.5cm/13"
Measurements Height 32.5cm (13")
An antique Indonesian style standing bronze Trimurti in the Majapahit style. The Trimurti is the triple deity of supreme divinity in Hinduism.
A triad of deities, Brahma the creator, Vishnu the preserver and Shiva the destroyer are shown in a single sculpture. When all three deities of the Trimurti incarnate into a single avatar, the avatar is known as Dattatreya.
Majapahit‑style Trimurti bronze, depicting the Hindu trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva unified in a single three‑headed, multi‑armed deity. The figure stands in poised samabhanga on a Javanese pedestal, richly adorned with jewellery and patterned textiles that emphasise his status as lord of creation, preservation and transformation. His lower right hand is held in a gentle gesture of teaching, inviting insight and guiding the viewer towards a deeper understanding of Dharma
In his other hands he holds a sutra, a noose, a lotus flower and a kalasha.
The sutra or sacred text, evokes Brahma’s role as giver of knowledge and keeper of the Vedas, reminding us that wisdom and learning lie at the heart of the cosmic order.
The noose, or pasa, symbolizes the ability to draw beings closer to truth, to bind and restrain ignorance and harmful tendencies, and to offer compassionate guidance rather than punishment.
The lotus, rising pure from muddy water, stands for spiritual purity, creative unfolding and serene beauty, echoing Vishnu’s association with preservation, balance and the gentle flowering of truth.
The kalasha, a ritual water pot, is a potent emblem of abundance, fertility and the potential for creation; in many Hindu traditions it also represents the container of amrita, the nectar of immortality, and the fullness of blessings poured out into the world.
Together, these attributes weave a visual sutra of their own: wisdom, guidance, purity and inexhaustible grace held in harmonious equilibrium.
On his forehead the deity bears a third eye and a small stupa, further underscoring his transcendent spiritual vision and connection to the sacred architecture of enlightenment.
The third eye signifies insight beyond ordinary perception and the power to dissolve illusion, while the stupa form recalls the presence of awakened mind and the continuity of Buddhist influence in Indonesian sacred art.
With its distinctive Javanese detailing and beautifully aged patina, this Trimurti sculpture offers a rare synthesis of refined craftsmanship and layered symbolism.
It is an evocative piece for a home, office or dedicated meditation space, where its calm authority, teaching gesture and quietly radiant energy can serve as an enduring reminder of balance, wisdom and the cyclical dance of creation, preservation and transformation.
