Rare Jain Manuscript Illustrating Cosmic Realms
This rare Jain cosmology manuscript painting originates from Western India and dates to the late 19th century. Created on handmade paper with mineral pigments and organic ink, it reflects Jain traditions of mapping the universe through symbolic form.
Influenced by texts such as the Sangrahani Sutra and Kalpasutra, the manuscript illustrates cosmic realms including Urdhva Loka, Madhya Loka, and Adho Loka. Handwritten Sanskrit and Devanagari annotations support interpretation of the imagery.
Visible patina, pigment softening, and paper wear confirm authenticity. Preserved as a disbound folio, it holds long-term value for collectors and institutions.
