介绍（中）	取自《罗摩衍那》的第三本书（"Aranya Kanda"），这艘船上精心叙述了丹达卡森林中的关键场景。该物品由孟买艺术学院创作，旨在保护印度工艺，具有许多从阿旃陀佛教壁画中提取的装饰图案。这些特征包括肩膀上的莲花和珍珠带，以及设置在大象头之间的怪物面孔（kirtimukha），它们吐出一个珠宝花环。虽然花瓶以印度传统为基础，但英国新古典主义的品味显然是其形状和一些几何图案的基础。考虑到规模和刻字多场景叙事，这个花瓶可能是为 1886 年的伦敦殖民地和印第安人展览制作的。在物体的另一边，叙事开始于罗摩向一群投掷石块的恶魔发射箭。简短的铭文将强大的恶魔确定为卡拉、杜沙纳和特里沙拉。在听说这支恶魔军队被击败后，拉瓦娜决定通过将自己变成苦行僧来绑架西塔（这边右下角），而拉玛和拉克什马纳则追逐一只金鹿，而金鹿实际上是神奇变身的恶魔玛丽查。在左边，在主战之前，拉玛和拉克什马纳与年老垂死的秃鹫贾塔尤交谈，贾塔尤与拉瓦纳作战，砸碎了他的战车并杀死了他的战车（见上图）。贾塔尤用他的遗言讲述了西塔被绑架的事情。
介绍（英）	Drawn from the third book (“Aranya Kanda”) of the Ramayana, the elaborate narrative on this vessel depicts key scenes in the Dandaka forest. Created by the Bombay School of Art in an effort to preserve Indian craft, the object features many embellishing motifs drawn from the Buddhist murals of Ajanta. These features include the lotus and pearl band running around the shoulder and the monster faces (kirtimukha), set between the addorsed elephant heads, that spit out a garland of jewels. Although the vase is grounded in the Indian tradition, British neoclassical taste clearly underlies its shape and some of its geometric motifs. Given the scale and inscribed multiscene narrative, this vase may have been produced for the London Colonial and Indian Exhibition of 1886. On the other side of the object, the narrative begins with Rama firing arrows at a horde of demons who hurl rocks. Short inscriptions identify the powerful demons as Khara, Dushana, and Trishara. After hearing of the defeat of this demon army, Ravana decides to abduct Sita by transforming himself into an ascetic (this side bottom right), while Rama and Lakshmana chase a golden deer who is in fact the magically transformed demon Maricha. To the left, before the main battle, Rama and Lakshmana speak with the aged and dying vulture Jatayu, who fought Ravana, smashing his chariot and killing his charioteer (seen above). With his last words Jatayu tells of Sita’s abduction.
