Color and Pattern from India

An exhibit I want to see at the MET is "Peaceful Conquerors: Jain Manuscript Painting" featuring book art from medieval India. I love the color and detailed patterns in the paintings.

Clockwise from top left:

The Courtesan Kosa with the King's Charioteer
Queen Trisala's Joy (at the Confirmation of Her Conception)
