Barahmasa - Twelve Lunar months: Expression Through Miniature Paintings

Bombay: Directorate of Tourism, Government of Maharashtra, 1970. Portfolio. Twelve folders as called for, each measuring 10x9 inches closed, each opening on a recto color graphic (9x5 inches, well-reproduced) that faces a verso commentary. Different color-themes for each "month". Expect very faint edgewear to folders, which are enclosed in a printed cardstock envelope or portfolio that is thrashed (but not so badly as to be thrown away) with our visible tape-repair. As is. These calendar motifs date from the first century, modified in the 17th century; it is the modifications we see here. (Inventory #: 298367)
