unknown - Vajra in His Cradle (top left) - Vajra Being Nursed by His Mother (top right) - The Nuns - 15th century v3 - STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This design reproduces a 15th-century Indian manuscript leaf showing two scenes from the infancy of Vajra, one in his cradle and one being nursed by his mother, with attending nuns present.

Visual Elements & Composition

The leaf is built on a horizontal rectangle of parchment beige, with black ink script lines running across its surface. Vermilion red dots punctuate the page and set the accent colour against the quieter ground. The two vignettes sit side by side, one in the top left and one in the top right, so the eye reads the infancy as a sequence. The black ink carries both the text and the figures, which gives the page its ordered, manuscript-like texture.

Meaning & Symbolism

The pairing of cradle and nursing traces the chronology of Vajra's earliest life, anchoring a figure of spiritual or heroic stature in the sphere of maternal care. The attendant nuns place these moments in a communal, devotional setting. The painting belongs to the sophisticated illustrative tradition of Indian manuscript illumination, made with ink and opaque watercolour on paper by scribes and painters who preserved narrative and lineage. Its place in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection links it to the wider record of devotional literature.

Cut to Its Own Outline

A kiss-cut sticker takes the shape of the artwork itself, so the manuscript leaf's rectangular edge becomes the sticker's outline, and the two vignettes stay framed within it. The image is small and flat, meant to be read at close range on a surface that is chosen for it. Collectors of manuscript imagery will recognise the page's composition at a glance, and the sticker keeps that composition intact.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
