The most notable feature of this painting is, however, the excellent painting of the banana tree to be seen on the left side of the fresco. The unfolding of a young shoot of leaf, and the curled edges of some which have been torn by a strong wind, are most accurately painted, and show not only close observation, but remarkable skill in execution. The drawing of the *aśoka* tree on the right side of the fresco is equally faithful.
