An Ornamental Design - Sketch from Sketch Book No.3 10224 Nandalal Bose Ink drawing on paper

This geometric and floral border pattern has been reproduced by Nandalal, from the carvings of an architectural structure in Adityapur, in modern-day Jharkhand. He often made records of the ornamental carvings on historical buildings as Nandalal had a deep appreciation for the rich artistic traditions of India and frequently incorporated elements from them in his works.
