The Treasures

#1 Post by SivaRamanathan » 30 Apr 2016, 20:25

Terracotta burial urns in kottai area...I read about these.
I restrained myself from walking the barren earth, the land is dry, parched.
Like the inscription on Mughal tombs, we picked up many books for sale.
Beautiful terracotta figurines, or lamps...cannot write about these.
Old Anjeneya or elephants, camels, other idols, unwritten.
What comes to mind is curled up skeleton with teeth clenched rattling in urns.
