This gum tempera and gold painting, made around 1710 in Mughal India, illustrates a scene from a poetical romance associated with Emperor Shah Alam I, showing Mahliqa, daughter of the Emperor of China, pointing at the mysterious bird-man Khwaja Mubarak. Mughal manuscript painting of this era continued to prize intricate detail, luxurious gold ornament, and richly narrative storytelling scenes drawn from Persian and Indian literary traditions. The page is held in the public-domain collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art.

Jacquard-woven in soft, durable cotton — a warm, fully reversible throw for the sofa, bed or reading chair.
