Kurma (Incarnation of Vishnu as Turtle) Churning of the Ocean from Avatars of Vishnu

Vishnu in his turtle incarnation sits on Mount Meru which serves as a churning stick in churning the ocean of milk. The scene is framed by a narrow white trim, surrounded by a wide orange-red decorative border with black framing lines; this sheet has been pasted onto a sheet of cardoes paper on which a black framing line has been drawn in pencil.
