Vishnu's Kurma avatar, the tortoise, handwritten label on reverse of gouache

The image shows the reverse of a round, oval-shaped paper mount with handwritten pencil notes reading "Vishnu Avatar Tortoise" and "582090i", plus a black disc marked "2". No painted scene is visible, so the record's description of a churning-of-the-ocean gouache cannot be confirmed from this view.
