After some help from friends in Rajasthan, I figured this one. It's a clay votive from Molela, the potters village near Udaipur. Sold to tribal people, with motifs and stories related to tribal legends and gods.

I found it in the Crafts Museum. It's about five feet tall, I think.
Looks like Saanjhi. In northern part of India, there's tradition of making a 'Saanjhi'.
ReplyDeleteIt is not Sanjhi. It is a story telling panel, found in Haryana Rajasthan region. Best place to see them Uruswati Museum.
