ProvenanceDonors purchased these 14 panels from a gallery in the River City mall in Bangkok, Thailand in the 1990s. The donor was able to buy all fifteen panels (although because the Jataka tells of sixteen dreams, I believe there is one panel missing from the collection. There is one panel featuring a snake and a frog that the donor is keeping but intends to donate later or to set it up as a bequest.
DescriptionWood panel with two sections, lefthand section has a figure sitting beside a bowl holding a jar, righthand section has painted tropical scene
