1906 Print Towers Silence Bombay India Parsi Zoroastrian Vulture Corpse XGW3 INS2 winners at the International TeamThis is an original 1906 halftone print of the Towers of Silence located in Bombay, India. These towers are used in the Zoroastrian tradition of disposing of the dead. Rather that burying the deceased, the Zoroastrian religion dictates that bodies must be placed atop the roof of these type of buildings, exposed to sun and birds of prey to decompose. Hence, the group of Vultures perching around the tower's perimeter. CONDITION This 105+ year old Item
