About the Item

Antique print, untitled. This original antique print shows a procession of monks in Ceylon. A group of dancing monks, beating drums, in front of the abbot, seated on an elephant. Dutch text on verso.

Artists and Engravers: Made by 'Philip Baldaeus' after an anonymous artist. Author: Philip Baldaeus (1632-1672). Father Philippus Baldaeus, Baelde or Philip Balde (October 1632, Delft - 1672, Geervliet) was a Dutch minister. He went to Jaffna, Ceylon with an invading Dutch force during 17th Century.

It is a great historical record, similar to Mahawamsa, and it was immediately published in Dutch and German (with many beautiful plates).
