Rare Jain Manuscript Illustrating the Structure of the Cosmos
This rare Jain cosmology manuscript painting was produced in Western India during the late 19th century. Executed on handmade paper using mineral pigments and organic ink, it exemplifies Jain diagrammatic traditions.
Drawing upon texts such as the Sangrahani Sutra and Laghu-kshetra-samasa, the manuscript visually explains cosmic realms, planetary arrangements, and moral order. Handwritten Sanskrit and Devanagari script accompanies the diagrams.
Natural patina, pigment mellowing, and paper wear confirm age and authenticity. Preserved as a disbound folio, it remains an important collectible and scholarly artifact.
