Sourced Overview Evidence
Cave compositions were replicated for multiple types of scenes in India, based on Persian models like the <em>Shah-nama</em> painting <a href="http://www.clevelandart.org/art/1988.96.a"><u>CMA 1988.96.a</u></a>. The black background of the caves in the <em>Tuti-nama </em>provides the viewer a window into a subterranean space, the mouth of which is shown amid the rocks above. <br><br>Shapur, the exiled frog tyrant, asked a snake to devour his enemies. However, when the snake became hungry again, he ate Shapur’s friends and family. Without any subjects to rule, the frog escaped his dangerous ally and lived out his life, sad and alone.
