Description: This captivating folk art piece showcases traditional tribal imagery within an intricate geometric framework. Das employs precise linework to create a narrative scene featuring stylized human figures, animals, and cosmic symbols. The central elephant rider, flanked by standing figures and crowned by a decorative mandala and bird motif, evokes ancient storytelling traditions. Various patterned borders—zigzags, diamonds, spirals, and parallel lines—frame the composition with rhythmic elegance, connecting contemporary artistic expression to deep cultural roots.
