A small manuscript (pothi) of Punjabi devotional verses, with one painting depicting the Sikh Guru Gobind Singh Punjab, mid-19th Century
gurmukhi manuscript on paper, 224 leaves, 11 lines to the page written in black and red ink, inner margins ruled in black, red and yellow, one illustration in gouache and gold depicting Guru Gobind Singh on horseback, a falcon on his wrist, accompanied by two attendants on foot, modern brown cloth binding 142 x 215 mm.
|The manuscript adopts the format most commonly used for Hindu religious manuscripts of the period - oblong, with the text written parallel to the longer side, unlike the vertical codex form found in Arabic and Persian manuscripts. In addition, the depiction of Guru Gobind Singh is in the Kashmiri or North Indian style, seen in the illustrations to manuscripts of Persian poetry, with relatively squat figures, a largely orange, gold and lilac palette, and a border of floral motifs.
