Jahangir weighs Prince Khurram, Jahangir-nama, Mughal India, c.1615


Jahangir weighs Prince Khurram on his sixteenth birthday. His weight in gold and silver was distributed to the poor.
Spread in profusion around them are presents from his subjects - gorgeous silks, jewelled daggers and precious vessels. In the foreground, not truly to scale, a display of Persian rugs.
