View through Harvard Museums
An image from a beach in Mahabalipuram; an eye is painted on the bow of the boat. Sun blasts from the right side of the image, splintering a sky that is blanched with light. A crow perches on the prow of the boat. An inscription in Tamil is painted along the side of the boat, just underneath the gunnels. In the background, another boat floats in the hazy distance.
