A good example in the Calcutta Art Gallery has been reproduced in Plate LXIV of Mr. Havell's \*Indian Sculpture and Painting\*; another, in Mr. C. Hercules Read's rich collection, is of special value because of the label indicating the subject; and a third is on folio 22 of B.M. Add. 21928. Other romances frequently illustrated are the tales of Laila and Majnūn, Khusrū and Shīrīn, and Kāmrūp and Kāmtā. - [Previous: c20.s2.94](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c20.s2.94) - [Next: c20.s2.96](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c20.s2.96) - [Up: c20.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c20.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c20.s2.95](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c20.s2.95) · Pramāṇa
