Maru Ragini, from a Ragamala (Garland of Melodies) — Restored Deccan Wall Art

A Rajput warrior holding a spear, with piercing dagger (katar) and sword attached to his belt, stands alone with his camel in a landscape. They have arrived at the banks of a stream, verdant in contrast to the intense hot yellow of the ground behind them. The musical mode associated with this painting is based on folk melodies of Rajasthan, where local stories feature a hero with a camel mount.

Northwestern India, Rajasthan, Rajput Kingdom of Amber or Southwestern India, Deccan, 1650–80. Original medium: Gum tempera, ink, and gold on paper.

Worth knowing: The warrior’s belt is called a kamarband in Persian and is the origin of the English cummerbund.

Faithfully restored from museum archives and printed on premium canvas-textured fine art paper, framed and ready to hang.
