A readiness from the Indian side absorbed such a device as the contrapost, and made it its own in the few instances in which it occurs. The motif of the draped garment, however, was only casually remembered as having a volume of its own. The folds, as a rule, had been converted into lines by the fifth century, i.e. they were treated in indigenous manner (cf. Figs. 25, 26 and 59, 61). - [Previous: c8.137](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.kramrisch-1933.c8.137) - [Next: c8.139](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.kramrisch-1933.c8.139) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.kramrisch-1933.c8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.kramrisch-1933.c8.138](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.kramrisch-1933.c8.138) · Pramāṇa
