I have seen no drawings on paper of Sinhalese paper, which was very coarse and rough.\* Such old drawings or paper ms. as have been preserved are found to be on Dutch paper, or at a later time on English paper. No doubt paper of Indian or Sinhalese manufacture was used at an earlier period. - [Previous: c19.15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.coomaraswamy-1908.c19.15) - [Next: c19.17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.coomaraswamy-1908.c19.17) - [Up: c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.coomaraswamy-1908.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.coomaraswamy-1908.c19.16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.coomaraswamy-1908.c19.16) · Pramāṇa
