The present owner recalls, "In the 1960s, after studying Indian music and dance at university with visiting professors from India, I spent some time in India to further my studies. As luck would have it, I had the good fortune to meet Maqbool Husain at a social gathering. Upon learning that I was in India to study dance and music, he gathered some supplies, and in a wonderfully impromptu moment, created this marvelous work of art to give me, which celebrates the rich Indian culture of music, dance and folklore!"
