10 vintage Indian examples of dried peepal leaf painting including an elephant

Description: 10 vintage Indian examples of dried peepal leaf painting, including an elephant! Author: (India) Title: 10 vintage Indian examples of dried peepal leaf painting, including an elephant! Description: 10 examples of this traditional Indian art form based apparently in Kerala, which uses the dried and tough peepal leaf (Ficus religiosa, or sacred fig) to paint on. 3 of the leaves measure roughly 5 inches, not including steam: one features a woman braiding another woman's hair, a second features two women with one holding a small flowerpot, the third shows a couple sitting under a tree with their infant child; the leaf showing an elephant uprooting a tree is about 7 inches long, and there are six small floral paintings about 2.5 inches tall each. All mounted on black craft paper with wax paper overlays. We don't think these are very old, but probably from the second half of the 20th century. Very Good.
