Archival Note Card | 1500 Series - #5

Blue-skinned figure with a halo rides a lion-like beast, trident held upright.

This is an archival note card from the 1500 series. It is archival paper. Many Indian miniatures draw on the Ramayana, the Mahabharata and the stories of Krishna, which painters in several courts and regions returned to again and again. Close-cropped card with a mauve sky and puffy clouds. The rider wears a gold crown, a yellow scarf and orange skirt, and offers a small dish. The white-maned animal bares its teeth at the lower left. It is 7 inches long and 5 high.

Rides in style and keeps the trident level.
