Source: Title: Indo-Aryans: contributions towards the elucidation of their ancient and mediaeval history Publication Year: 1881 Authors: Mitra, Rajendralala, Raja, 1824-1891 Publisher: London : E. Stanford Calcutta, W. Newman Caption text from the source: Woodcut from Muktesvara, carved sides. The footstool, included beside the bedstead, served the purposes of a step for ascending on the bed; but it was also used as a stand for the betel-box, drinking cups, watercarafes, vessel for wine. Orissan sculpture mounted on an elaborately carved dais, and has very pretty legs of a square pattern, the like of which are very common in Bengal in the present day. On one side of the bedstead is attached a semi-circular head-piece, designed to prevent the pillow from falling over. The bedding (Sanskrit talpa) appears to have been stuffed, and the stuffing kept in its place by tufting. There was a large thick pillow on its upper side, but my artist forgot to copy it. From a slightly projecting mark under the frame, I fancy that such bedsteads were sometimes provided with secret recesses for the deposit of valuables and jewellery, as is still the case in some parts of India. |
