Inscribedtwo inscriptions in black ink on verso both in Rajasthani language and Devanagiri script: One signed by artist 'Bagta', and the other denotes title. [NOTE: There is a slight ambiguity in the title inscription. The name should be transliterated into English as Miran Bagas. However, chances are that the anusvara (after-sound ‘n’) is practically silent and so the name is spelled phonetically as Mira Bagas.
