Leaf from the Perfection of Wisdom Sutra, Unrecorded South Asian makers — Leaf from the Perfection of Wisdom Sutra, Pala period, c. 1160-1180

Unrecorded South Asian makers

4 works

Not one artist but a group: South Asian makers whose names the Art Institute of Chicago does not record. It dates and places each work, from a palm-leaf page of the Perfection of Wisdom Sutra, about 1160 to 1180, and a Jain Kalpasutra page from Gujarat to a garden scene from Bundi, about 1740, and a heron from Kolkata.
