Description: | One of eight painted hessian scenes with a wooden frame. In the foreground a young man dressed plunges a spear into the jaws of a tiger. The man is dressed in a short-sleeved green jacket decorated with gold motifs, a white waist cloth edged with gold and a turban trimmed with gold and peacock feathers and secured with a gold sash under his chin. On the right another man similarly dressed attacks the tiger with a spear, and a dog bites its underbelly. | Publisher: | http://www.horniman.ac.uk/ | Subjects: | burlap paintings (art) wood paint hessian | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | oai:oai.horniman.ac.uk:object-138618 |
