D. 1500, which may be fairly described as the most artistic stone lattice-work to be found anywhere in the world. I give two examples—one with geometrical patterns, and the other with the tree motive of Hindu origin, which should be compared with the modern carving in the Mysore Palace (\*ante\*, p. 236). - [Previous: c19.s4.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c19.s4.3) - [Next: c19.s4.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c19.s4.5) - [Up: c19.s4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c19.s4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c19.s4.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c19.s4.4) · Pramāṇa
