Compare a circa 1600 Nepalese double-sided Brahma paubha in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, see Pratapaditya Pal, The Arts of Nepal: Painting, Leiden, 1978, pl. 184. Boston has a number of paintings from the series, probably designed to depict the Astamatrika, the Eight Mother Goddesses, together with the Astadikapala, the Eight Directional Gods. The present fine and radiant example is likely to have been part of a similar series depicting the Astamatrika and Astadikapala and made to be suspended like flags high around a temple shrine, visible inside and out: the painting retains its original wood suspension rod above, while no provision is made for a weighted rod below, so the banner may hang free in space. The typical Newar palette remains as fresh and vibrant as any from this period of Kathmandu Valley painting.
