In the Spring of 1923, Miss Tyra de Kleen, the Swedish artist and traveler, held an exhibition of her watercolor drawings at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. They illustrated the ceremonial dances of the people, and the symbolic hand gestures (mudras) of the Pedandas (priests), as they are performed at the present day on the island of Bali, in the Netherlands East Indies. It is believed this book will prove to be a pioneer work and a foundation stone for future research in the little known branch of religious symbolism.
