Art, Symbol & Imagination
An Indian Wheel of Life
A fierce figure grips the rim of a circular diagram divided into scenes. Buildings, human figures and symbolic creatures fill the concentric compartments. Carus captions it an Indian Wheel of Life and identifies its reproduction with a picture published by L. E. Waddell in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society.
