Report on the Kẹ́galla district ..
A Ceylon archaeological survey report from 1892 by the Archaeological Survey of Sri Lanka, held by the Smithsonian Libraries, documenting temple architecture in the Kegalla district for scholars of colonial-era antiquities. The pictures are precise line drawings of Buddhist monastery elevations, carved stone pillars with ornate capitals, and a sculpted railing, drawn in clean outline with scale bars, and a designer might borrow their dense geometric and floral ornament for patterns, borders, or column motifs.
