A unique collection of 56 Devi Mahatmya Hindu paintings, about 200 years old and valued at 280,000, has been placed under a UK export bar. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) identifies the series as a significant opportunity for the study of this artistic genre and aims to give UK galleries or institutions time to raise funds to acquire the works. The nearly complete series depicts the Divine Mother narrative using gold and silver paint and ranges from serene worship scenes to intense battles. The collection includes a painting of defeated gods Vishnu and Shiva appealing for assistance, believed to be unique to this series.
