This gum tempera, ink and gold painting, made around 1560 for the Mughal emperor Akbar's court, illustrates a Tuti-nama (Tales of a Parrot) episode in which a raja's son vows to sacrifice himself before a temple image if he can be united with a princess he glimpsed there. Painted within Akbar's royal workshop during the foundational years of Mughal painting, the manuscript blends Persian pictorial refinement with the bold color and storytelling energy of Indian art. 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.

I ordered it on a Friday and it was here Monday. The smallest marks in The Raja's Son's Vow are still visible, which is the entire point. Genuinely delighted with it. ✨
The whole experience was fine in a forgettable way. The darker areas of The Raja's Son's Vow lose some of their depth.
I have bought a lot of art online and this is the first time it looked exactly like the listing. The scale works perfectly for The Raja’s Son’s Vow and nothing feels cramped…
I’ve had it in place for two weeks and I notice it every time I walk past. The balance of light and dark in The Raja’s Son’s Vow came out better than I expected.
The quality is better than most of what I have seen at this price. The colors in The Raja's Son's Vow came through almost exactly as I hoped. I compared it against a similar piece from another shop and this one won. It arrived during a nor'easter and the packaging kept everything dry. This shop has earned a repeat customer.
