Jain folio from a Kalakacarya kathanaka manuscript. Western India, circa 1450. Gouache and gold on paper. Approx. 12 x 29cm

The Kalakacarya is, with the Kalpasutra, a principal text of the Svetambara Jains. Often it appears with the Kalpasutra, at the end. It is the story of the monk Kalaka. In the folio picture's lower register we see Kalaka exercising his horse and in the upper register he is listening to Gunakara preach. (With thanks to Robert Del Bonta for identifying the folio and subject.)
