Tiger Attacking a Hunter and his Elephant
Indian
In the center of the page is a large elephant trying to run from a tiger that has just attacked it. The elephant turns towards the tiger, its trunk in the air and its ears flapping forward. The mounted hunter aims an arrow at the tiger. He wears a turban and a waist sash (patka) with a punch dagger (katar) and a quiver full of arrows hanging from it. Two attendants on foot rush to the scene. The one closest to the tiger leaps forward, holding a match in one hand and a lit candle on a long pole in the other. The lit candle is an attempt to spook the tiger. The attendant on the far right runs over, carrying a long spear in his left hand. Rajput style.
