Cleveland Museum of Art
Tigers Chasing Deer, with Dragon
1000s–1200
Two similar <em>kesi</em> in Cleveland’s collection include 1991.3 and 1988.33. All are roughly the same size and given their size all three rectangular fragments may have been used as sutra (prayer leaves) covers. All three have two vertical crease lines that divide the fragment roughly into thirds and differential fading between the central third and outer thirds, which further substantiates this possible usage.
