Vintage Santoshi Mata Print ornamemt this print is decades oldThis intricately illustrated print depicts Santoshi Mata, the mother of satisfaction. Interestingly, worship of Santoshi Mata, mostly by women, has only been commonplace since the 1960s which is likely when this print was originally framed. The delicate paper has torn in places and shows some staining yet it remains an eye catchingly beautiful piece.
