- Abstract
-
"A cavernously dark interior, despite a strong light from a wide doorway and open window in the wall which forms a background. Five Indian servants, of whom two may be women, are employed in various operations; three squat on the floor on mats or low stools, a fourth holding a slab or brick like that in No. 12164, rises in angry controversy with a seated man (left). Their dress ranges from a tunic and trousers with a turban to a loin-cloth. A steward or butler wearing a turban stands in the doorway, holding a bowl. On the right is a large stove on which pots of various sizes are cooking over five small charcoal fires on the surface of the stove. Above, in deep shadow, hang large hams."--British Museum online catalogue
