- Abstract
-
Scene inside a pagoda of the Indian goddess Kamaetzma, with a man seen at center standing on a ladder that disappears into a hole in the floor. The man's left arm is extended, and he has apparently just added to the pile of fruit and flowers on the floor. Additional fruits are stacked in baskets behind the man on the right. Beside the hole, to the left of the man, sits a naked child adorned with flowers. In the background are statues of various multi-armed deities, mounted animal heads, and a bell hung from the wall
