Title: Hand-painted Erotic folding book in Hindi language
Post by: benbenny on March 06, 2014, 01:43:41 PM

Have a erotic folding book in Hindi language I believe. I also think it's got to do with KamaSutra because the couple are viewed in different positions and even in a threesome. The front and back is made out of wood but I don't know witch paper or material they used to paint and write on. The language must be Hindi and is written in gold color. The style looks south Indian to me. So this is al I know about it (Or think to know).
I would like to have more info about this book like a circa date, translation maybe, or material used

Thank you

This is not yours, but maybe its the idea. Forget the value because it is not yours, but the idea is similar.
