A dark blue-black tone is employed for the general background which is spotted with flowers, and for a few of the figures. Immediate background within the arches etc. is painted in black or red. Brown has been frequently used for the complexion of most attendant figures and also in little dabs on the architectural designs. The outlines of the figures are drawn in pale red or black, in bold strokes and in no uncertain manner. -- Details shown in slide IM74. Top) shows what may be forms of totemism.
