Painted Indian Window Shutter From Bikaner – 19thC

This pretty shutter is from Bikaner in Rajasthan, a city that is famous for its fine painting of boxes and the interiors of buildings. It would have been plastered into the wall. These are sometimes used as a built-in cupboard for storage. 
The painted scene depicts the baby Krishna suckling at the breast of his mother Yashoda, whilst the other gopis look on. It dates to the 19th century. 

Architecture from India is found in an extraordinary variety of styles reflecting the many cultures that inhabit India.
