Lot 198: A Framed Tantric Miniature Painting of a Stylised Leaf

A framed tantric miniature painting, executed with pigments, likely gouache or watercolor, on paper.

Adorning the leaf are several small, white or silver-toned motifs, including a radiant disc, a goat’s head, a crescent moon with a spiral design, a suspended lantern, a bird-like figure, a bottle and a cluster of grapes, and a central archway or niche.
