Page from Tales of a Parrot (Tuti-nama): Fifth night: The hunter offers the mother
Page from Tales of a Parrot (Tuti-nama): Fifth night: The hunter offers the mother parrot to the king of Kamarupa, c. 1560. The king of Kamarupa, which ironically means " body of erotic love, " had leprosy. The hunter brought the captured mother parrot to the king, assuring him that the bird knew a cure. The lavish use of gold indicates that this book was a costly production. The figure of the hunter reveals the talents of the artist Basavana, whose name is written in the right margin. Draped in rustic garments shaded to appear softly flowing, the hunter bends forward with a subtle look of shrewd expectancy as the king seems ready to pay a high price for the parrot. The billowing red curtain is one of Basavanas signature motifs. Beyond is a tantalizing glimpse of the forest to which the parrot will soon escape to rejoin her children
