Extended description
Gatotkacasraya. Abimanyu's encounter with Durga. In the first scene (left end) Abimanyu is shown talking with a woman. In the second he lies down in a graveyard and is carried off by demons, and in the third he pays his respects to Durga. This ider-ider is a very fine work in a style that is similar to the Kamasan style, but is still obviously from another area. The background is marked by a profusion of red dots.
