Description:
|
Bound in nineteenth-century leather flap binding, Chandayan is the most extensive extant manuscript (although is lacking beginning, end and some middle pages) with 286 minatures characteristed by a pastel palette, minimal underdrawing, infilling patterns drawn from fabric design, and extensive gold leaf. The text pages show a Persian section-caption in red ink, above five verses in chaupai rhyming couplets in two columns, with the final verse of each section, in longer doha metre, at the bottom of the page, all written in naskh script.
