EDITORS COMMENTS
This folio, hailing from the 1720s, is a stunning example of Jain recension of the Panchatantra series, specifically featuring the "Adventures of Two Travelling Priests." The image, created in the 18th century, is an opaque watercolor and gold on paper, showcasing rich colors and intricate details. Two priests, dressed in traditional Jain apparel, are depicted in the image, making their arrival at a stream in a rural setting. The priests, dressed in red and other colorful clothing, are shown carrying their belongings, including a lacquer box and a sheep, as they journey through the geographical features of Hindustan, possibly in Rajasthan or Southeast Asia. The folio is a division of the Panchakhyana, a collection of animal stories used for moral instruction in Jainism. The Panchatantra tales, of which this is a part, have been popular in India and other parts of Asia for centuries. The traditional costumes and dress of the priests are a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region. The use of gold in the illustration adds an element of grandeur and importance to the scene. The arrival of the priests at the stream is a moment of pause in their travels, a moment of reflection and rest before continuing their journey. This folio is a valuable addition to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, providing a glimpse into the artistic and literary traditions of Jainism in the 18th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors make it a standout piece in any collection of Asian or Indian art.
