Historic Jain Cosmology Manuscript Folio
This historic Jain cosmology manuscript painting was created in Western India during the late 19th century. Executed on handmade paper using natural mineral pigments and ink, the folio exemplifies Jain methods of conveying cosmological knowledge through visual and textual synthesis.
Rooted in Jain texts such as the Sangrahani Sutra and Laghu-kshetra-samasa, the manuscript outlines cosmic geography, planetary order, and cyclical time. Handwritten Sanskrit and Devanagari annotations accompany diagrammatic imagery to clarify spatial relationships and ethical structure.
Natural patina, pigment softening, and paper wear confirm age and authenticity. Preserved as a disbound folio, it retains strong scholarly and collector appeal.
