A creature of mythical world, the portrayed figure blends many animal forms from a tiger to a donkey. Such mythical animal forms, usually identified as Shardulas, have voluminous presence in Indian sculptures, though in medieval painting their presence is negligible. With its variegating colour effects this mythicised animal has a more cute and strange look.
