Posting after a long time. Note similarity to Ganjifa playing cards though the Ganjifa cards are usually circular. The artwork seems of the same type. Regards.

Anandalal N. speaks about Dashavatara Ganjifa, and certainly knows this terrain much better then me.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashavatara https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganjifa https://i-p-c-s.org/pattern/sawdas.html https://i-p-c-s.org/pattern/nosdas.html https://i-p-c-s.org/pattern/kurnol.html It is very well possible, that a Ganjifa card painter did the paintings on this table top (?). At least since the beginning of 20th cent. card painting was a dying business until it virtually stopped around 1950, and I guess, any kind of commission could have been welcome for painters.
