FROM THE CLEVELAND MUSEUM OF ART’S CATALOG

Two warriors flee from Krishna’s capital city on horseback in a scene that takes place late in the life of Krishna. They were responsible for the death of Krishna’s father-in-law, King Satrajit. Furthermore, one of them is carrying the infamous Syamantaka jewel, stolen from King Satrajit. This magical jewel, a gift from the sun god, has the power to produce 170 pounds of gold every day. They are afraid of Krishna’s wrath.
