 Suparshvanatha is usually depicted in a lotus or kayotsarga posture.Statues and paintings show his head shielded by a multi-headed serpent, fanned out like an umbrella.Serpent-hood iconography is not unique to Suparshvanatha; it is also found above the icons of Parshvanatha, the 23rd of the 24 "tirthankaras", but with a small difference.
