This Jain monk from the 13th century spent his days copying sacred stories onto paper-thin palm leaves in a quiet temple near Mount Abu. He used delicate brushwork and gold flecks to show a teacher quietly passing wisdom to a student, while curious townsfolk eavesdropped. Flip the leaf and you’ll find the same scene inked into the story itself.
Find Folio 2 from the Parshvanatha Charitra in the Walters Art Museum to see how a single page can hold both art and sermon.
