Indra Riding an Elephant
A crowned, many-armed Indra sits on an elaborately dressed elephant beneath spreading trees. The surrounding emblems and densely engraved foliage give the deity a richly staged setting. The journal introduces the plate as the first of its Gods of the Nations series and places it beside an account of Indra in Vedic tradition.
