Rare Jain Manuscript Illustrating Cosmological Principles
This rare Jain cosmology manuscript painting was produced in Western India during the late 19th century. Executed on handmade paper with natural mineral pigments and ink, it reflects Jain scholarly traditions of cosmological visualization.
Drawing upon sources such as the Sangrahani Sutra and Laghu-kshetra-samasa, the manuscript maps cosmic realms, planetary systems, and ethical hierarchies. Handwritten Sanskrit and Devanagari script enhances the clarity of the diagrammatic forms.
Surface patina, pigment mellowing, and paper wear confirm age and authenticity. Preserved as a disbound folio, it retains strong academic and collector appeal.
