With four carved sides decorated with floral motifs (chrysanthemums, carnations, lotus<br \/>\nflowers ), lobed reserves and Persian aediculas at the cover. The reserves depicting finely carved court feminine and masculine figures, seated on the floor<br \/>\nholding small birds, flowers or wine bottles, image of the Deccan court pleasures. Similar figures depicted at the exterior face of the cover, the feminine figures<br \/>\nwearing saris and the male figures wearing turban. This panels are framed by double geometric friezes with circles ending in spiral braided flowers in the<br \/>\nPersian taste. At the cover interior, hidden from prying eyes, a curious representation of Shiva, the destroyer god of the Hindu triad on a stepped base, a typical<br \/>\ndevotional representation. Clearly a court piece, possibly a writing accessory \u2013 hiding in the interior a religious figure of difficult devotion in a predominantly<br \/>\nIslamic court \u2013 and where is visible a cultural and aesthetic symbiosis between the Persian Islamic tradition and the Hindu of South India. This symbiosis<br \/>\ndefines not only the Mogul culture of North India, but also the Islamic Deccan courts, at the modern Maharashtra state.<br \/>\nHugo Miguel Crespo, Art Historian, CH-FLUL<br \/>\nLiterature:<br \/>\nHAIDAR, Navina Najat; SARDAR, Marika (eds) - \"sustanates of the South.<br \/>\nArts of India's Deccan Courts, 1323-1687\".
