A History of Fine Art in India and Ceylon, from the Earliest Times to the Present Day c9.s2.80

- **Language:** English

### [c9.s2.80](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c9.s2.80)

The larger fragment (Plate XVIII), apparently from the same building, offers many points of interest. The abnormal elongation of the principal worshipper in the spandrel is due seemingly to the necessity for filling the space. The garland bearers of the middle concentric band are depicted in an unusual manner. The oxen are fairly well drawn, but the horse is atrocious, and the floral patterns are feeble.
