About A Composite Elephant Delhi School C. 1800 Vintage Indian Miniature Art Painting
The exquisite work depicts a winged supernatural figure riding an elephant, while a demon with a curved trumpet leads the way. like its rider and companion, the elephant is no ordinary animal but a composite creature pieced together with multitudes of beasts and human formations. a welter of snakes, lions, and deer appear on the trunk, a fish conjoins with a crow and a rabbit on the raised forelimb, while a tightly interlocked mosaic of a gazelle, leopard, monkey, and a musician assemble on its belly. the paintings in the genre portrayed a supernatural ( peri), human, sufi saint, or celestial rider guiding the magiC.l animal. such composite animal figures revealing a kaleidoscope of reptiles, mammals, birds, and amphibians could represent the internal unity of all beings through the successive reinC.rnation of the soul and man’s mystiC.l connection to the natural world.
