Notes on Jaina art : The eight Nāyikās; Ceiling painting at Kelaniya Vihāra, Ceylon
A 1914 monograph by Ananda K. Coomaraswamy, published in Peckham by Griggs, on Jaina painting and Sri Lankan ceiling decoration, aimed at scholars of Indian and Asian art. Its plates reproduce manuscript and wall paintings in dense black-and-white and colour: seated figures in haloes, horsemen and attendants, and patterned borders built from diamonds, zigzags and crosses, offering designers stylised figure groups and geometric textile repeats.
