Here a Matao, high class, is shown respect from the lower class, Manachang bowing before him. Plate 62 in the folio collection. (NOTE: Since this is high resolution reproduction of the original antique print from 1835, there are some small natural areas of coloration in the print, which are typical of a 200 year old print and areto be expected.)
