Thank you, Andrew.
I am flattered... I did take those pics myself. So you suggest it's from North India and from around the mid 19th century. Good. Thanks again. |

The other side shows
A maiden playing the veena, deer are attracted. This is a standard depiction of a musical mode, TODI, often shown as this in a picture.
The other side is plainly Krishna and Radha. A REALLY nice piece! |
