Indian it is ... but what ?

[Gustav]

Very likely at least one other avatar of Vishnu, Varaha, is also depicted, on the left tableau. The layer of painting is gone exactly at that place, but possibly the outline of boars trunk can be recognized on the centaur-like figure.

I think we quite surely can see this table top (?) in a Vaishnavite context.

And here in the left tableau we most likely see another Vishnu's avatar , Vamana, in his boy-like shape with umbrella, before King of Asuras, Bali.

[Gustav]

And the last two: on the left Vishnu's avatar Rama, on the right Vishnu's avatar Krishna, killing king Kamsa.

Truly amazing; eight years to find out what is going on these scenes !!!
I bought this thing in a street fair; just because the price was tempting. I have it since then decorating the walls of my garage. Yet its value increased immensely now that the riddle is cracked ... thanks to you both Gentlemen. Gustav, you were tireless .

If it is Rama, then is his adversary Ravana with the multiple (100) heads? Isn't he usually dark rather than light skinned? I had been puzzling over that one before you wrote.

[Gustav]

Exactly, that's Ravana.

You are welcome, Fernando.
