Title
The female in narrative art
Description
The female in narrative art: A useful source for the study of conceptual positions regarding women in early Sri Lankan society is narrative art, which is largely in the form of painting. Unfortunately the chronological distribution of this material is extremely uneven, being weighted on the last two centuries of the period dealt with in this survey. Very little of the narrative paintings of the earlier period has survived.
