Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier1
The holding museum's own catalogue record for the accessioned object, the strongest available record for its culture, period, date, medium, dimensions and accession number, its own title directly naming Parshvanatha as the figure shown, independently corroborated by the English Wikipedia article on Parshvanatha confirming his identity and standard iconography.
