Catalogue Note
The inscription on the verso reads “The shining flower in her ears are like the wheels of chariot, the pendent is like the banner which flutters in the wind, the head ornament is like a parasol, the saffron mark on the forehead are the spokes, the nose ring is the hub of wheel, and the bejeweled crown is like Kama… Krishna with just a glance was sold to her” Rasikapriya 15.5
