Studying Saraha
Scientific analyses of the traditional materials and methods in thangka production are uncommon, as thangkas are sacred objects, the sampling of which is discouraged, in order to preserve their integrity. This study builds on this important ethical challenge and presents a three-stage methodology that systematically delves deeper into each layer of the composition, successfully enabling the investigation of different phases of production. In the …
Bordering on Asian Paintings
Mount components and textile borders represent important elements of Asian paintings. However, they are often side-lined or not considered an integral part of the original piece, as they may be later additions or may have been replaced during historic conservation or mounting interventions. Nevertheless, evidence is sometimes present that textile borders are contemporaneous to the production of the paintings they frame or, in the case of painting…
Dismantling the Master’s House
Museums were both produced by and producers of the ideals that drove the growth of European empires. As such, many of the collections made during and since the colonial era are unique and powerful reflections of this history.

The worship of murtis (divinely embodied icons) was central to Hindus across the subcontinent but assumed particular political significance in Bengal. Condemned by colonial officials and Christian missionaries as irrational and blasphemous, murtipuja became a contested practice, compelling the Bengali literati to debate and question its…
