Pal, PratapadityaPhotographer: Arthur Llewellyn Basham2019-10-152019-10-151965IM-76http://hdl.handle.net/1885/175964Showing scene in middle where a man is seen adoring a serpent coiled round a tree. The hood of the serpent is adorned with a jewel. Next two figures confront each other with clasped palms, the one to the right appearing to emerge from a pillar of fire. Followed by 2 more confronted figures, sitting, that on the left, multi-headed and with 4 arms, may represent Brahma. Then we see a horse and rider in landscape indicated summarily by a few rocks in the foreground and framed by 2 trees. In the foreground and behind the horse is a tiny figure who is actually standing outside the frame and on the ornamental border. -- see slide IM74 for further information.35mmmounted transparencyb&wimage/tiffen-AUBengal & Bihar-- Painting, Bengal & Biharmanuscriptsbook scanSections of outside of second cover of Buddhist Tantric text2019-10-15This item is provided for research purposes.
