Description from the Metropolitan Museum of Art: "The artist Ruknuddin has combined creatively a number of ragamala texts to make this evocative masterpiece. Following artistic precedent and the texts, he shows an ascetic “in penance, adorned, gray [with ashes]” listening to a disciple, who is described as “a young man beauteous in every limb,” playing the rudra vina. Another ragamala text tells us the disciple is “an ascetic, whose mind is drowned in meditation on Shiva … crowned by the white moon.”

Here’s an unusual jumper/pullover! The name of the pattern is “Bloomsbury,” a design by Svetlana Volkova, and can be obtained on Ravelry.com. The lacy mock cables not only run up the sleeves, but down the back. As a reminder that one should be alluring from all angles, the French have called detailing such as this, “Suivez-moi, jeune homme!” (Follow me, young man!)
Bye bye, Ziggy.
