An embroidered silk panel depicting Guru Nanak with Bala and Mardana Punjab, late 19th Century of square form, the central red silk ground embroidered in polychrome depicting Guru Nanak seated under a tree with his two attendants, a bird suspended in a cage, surrounded by foliate motifs, the border with floral and foliate motifs on green and purple grounds, backed 97 x 101 cm. Footnotes: Panels such as this would have been used as a cloth covering for the sacred Sikh scriptures. The tree is symbolic of the royal umbrella. The scene was likely to have been inspired by Sikh-themed woodblock engravings that were produced in Amritsar in the last quarter of the 19th century (see W. H. McLeod, Popular Sikh Art, 1991).
