Islamic Warrior, 17th Century

A warrior on horseback, with the rider carrying a mace and wearing a tiger-skin cloak and a leopard-skin hat. From the chapter on the occult properties of horses (fi khawass al-faras) in a 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.
