Catalogue text

Palindon are 12-month calendars depicting the 12 months and the deity associated with that month. The painted scenes for each month illustrate the written predictions. The trees depicted in this painting are characteristic of the experiments undertaken by skilled Kamasan artists in the 1930s with the modern art styles developing in Balinese villages like Ubud.
