Did You Know?

The deer has four horns, identifying it as the four-horned antelope (Tetracerus quadricornis), native to Nepal and India.
A horizontally oriented gum tempera and ink painting on palm leaf features five blocks of black script. A central rectangular illustration with a red background depicts a light-skinned figure in orange beside stylized green trees, hands raised toward a small antelope. Two circular binding holes puncture the text blocks on the tan, slightly worn surface. The composition balances rhythmic script with a vibrant narrative scene, highlighting the organic texture of the ancient leaf.
