[MANGAL, Joshi - Original Artwork] Outsider Tantric Folk Art - Painted Hand with Symbols and Decorations [Image #012]
Kishangarh, Rajasthan: no date (modern). [#012] Gouache painting on recycled paper. This image is of a hand with symbols and decorations. In the background are what appear to be words or phrases in Devangari script, possibly more decorative than textual but I really don't know for sure. The size of this image is approximately 11 x 7 inches including margins. There are three very small pin holes on the image. Very good.
Joshi Mangal is a painter from Kishangarh in Rajasthan (India). His body of work is based on the artistic styles found in bazaars in his community and inflected by his idiosyncratic taste for sensational images of tantric art. He paints images of tantric goddesses, circular yantra designs, astrological images, various body parts used for divination (hands and feet), and more.
