A turbaned, bearded male with dagger in his waistband sits on a couch. Behind him there is a servant with a flywhisk, and before him a bearded turbaned youth displays a portrait of turbaned but beardless male. From the chapter on the customs of the Christians in a copy of 'Aja'ib al-makhluqat wa-ghara'ib al-mawjudat (Marvels of Things Created and Miraculous Aspects of ) by al-Qazwini (d. 1283/682). Neither the copyist nor illustrator is named, and the copy is undated. The nature of paper, script, ink, illumination, and illustrations suggest that it was produced in provincial Mughal India, possibly the Punjab, in the 17th century.
