One of a set of paintings depicting scenes of Manipuri ceremonies and Manipuris. The field is divided into three vertical panels, each containing a male figure. On the far left, dressed in white, is a turbanned figure with a drum. In the centre is a figure similarly dressed with a cymbal in each hand. The figure on the right is dressed in yellow, wearing necklaces, a helmet-shaped cap and brandishing a yellow cloth. All three have decorations in white body paint around the neck.
These objects are only a part of our collections, of which there are more than 350,000 objects. This information comes from our collections database. Some of this is incomplete and there may be errors. This part of the website is also still under construction, so there may be some fields repeated or incorrectly formatted information.
The database sometimes uses language taken from historical documents to help research, which may now appear outdated and even offensive. The database also includes information on objects that are considered secret or sacred by some communities.
