her knee. She is dressed in a sage green tunic spotted with yellow, perhaps signify-
ing the devi's unhappy identification with small-pox. A red band on the lower
edge of the tunic has a spot pattern of little circles. High above the elbows the
short sleeves are trimmed with a buff (gold) braid and between this and the white
elbow frill is a band of terra-cotta colour figured with green and black scrolls.
From below the frills the arms are covered by the tight sleeves of a red under-
garment, the purple cuffs decorated with green scrolls. On the plum-coloured
skirt is a repeating pattern of terra-cotta and green trefoil flowers on a ground
spotted with pearl-like white dots. A green stole comes from behind the shoulders
and twines round the arms.
The five children, representing her five hundred, are more easily identified; one
astride her wrist, another embracing her left breast, two astride her shoulders, the
one on the left shoulder wearing a terra-cotta colour smock. The other three are
nude. The fifth, badly defaced, on the left of the picture, wears a green smock and
seems to be dancing.
