Two dark-skinned dog-headed demons with pearls and feathers, both sticking out their tongues; a yellow wolf-headed demon with wrist beads (noise-makers); a half-section of a female; and a harpy with horns and wrist-beads (noise-makers). From the chapter on the amazing forms belonging to the devil (shaytan) in copy of 'Aja'ib al-makhluqat wa-ghara'ib al-mawjudat (Marvels of Things Created and Miraculous Aspects of Things Existing) 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.
