c11.s1.54

for example, an Indian drawing of a rider and horse, the latter composed of several different animals, including one man. All of the forms are very ingenious; that is all that can be said for most of them; but the 5-women-knot is sometimes beautiful. They are certainly not very suitable for use as drawing copies, and I regard this as a late and accidental development in Ceylon.
