Ajanta: The Colour and Monochrome Reproductions of the Ajanta Frescoes Based on Photography v2.c9.12

v2.c9.12

The frescoes of the right wall of the chapel are even more damaged than those on the back wall. Beginning with the left side of the wall, we observe the branches of a tree, the leaves of which are beautifully painted. Lower down was delineated a herd of cows, of which three are still visible. One is red, another pinkish-white, and the third rather greenish in colour. The pinkish-white cow has an inscription (no. 4) painted on its back. The designs of the chains round the necks of the cows are interesting.
