Scope & Content:

Add.Or.2617-2639

23 drawings of musical instruments.

Probably by a Patna artist, c.1820.

Inscribed with titles in Persian and in some cases in ‘nagari’ characters.

Water-colour; various sizes.

Purchased 10 November 1965.

Note: The inscriptions in ‘nagari’ characters appear to have been copied on to the drawings by a writer ignorant of the script. The colouring and technique suggest a Patna provenance.
