Indian wedding

4 young female dancers, accompanied by 8 men, dance in front of an all-male audience surrounding the dance floor on all 4 sides; veiled women look through a screen (purdah) from the upper gallery. The dance floor is probably the same place as in P 4266, P 4265, P 4241, P 4240 and VIII C 378. The same scene as in P 4266 but no doublet.
