The birth of the Kauravas from a Mahabharata series; Artist Unknown, India, Gujarat

Title
The birth of the Kauravas from a Mahabharata series
Artist
Artist Unknown, India, Gujarat
Physical Description
A scene takes place in a red box, lined with black and red diamond and triangle designs for borders. In the center, a woman sites with a child in her lap. She wears a spotted dress, her hair up, and a nose ring and bindi. The child reaches one hand and places it atop her head, and the other down towards her own upward hands. Surrounding them are seven other figures. One kneels before them, offering his hands up, and another fans the woman from behind. The remaining five figures seem to play together in front of the throne on which the woman and child sit.
