Description
This manuscript, consisting of 188 double-sided folios, was calligraphed by a scribe at a monastery in northeastern India, commissioned by a monk from Nepal. Judging from the style of the paintings, they are the work of Nepalese artists.- ?–1938(Heeramaneck Galleries, New York, NY, sold to the Cleveland Museum of Art)1938–The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
