A rare survival. Unlike Western wallpapers which are produced in rolls, these sheets from Southern Asia were designed to be assembled by the purchaser in blocks. The images show scenes from Buddhist Iconography. The images are set within an architectural border surrounded by lotus and other flora.

Five designs on local paper, hand-painted through stencils, some partly heightened with gold and silver, each sheet 56 x 66 cm. Framed and glazed, overall dimensions: 74.5 x 61.5 cm.
