The Gods are Leaving the Country

Wood

 Strut

ENDANGERED: The iron rods around the precious old wood carving, strut of an ancient pilgrim's rest house in Tyagal Tol, Patan, offer scarcely any protection against theft. It depicts Salabhanjika, tree nymph, an age-old motif of Indian art which, up to now, lives on in Nepal. (Fig. E149/G44).
