Unknown author. Everything is hand made. The obverse work depicts a royal person (maybe Shah Jahan I as AI suggests, though could be his son Aurangzeb) with a flower on right hand and a fruit on left hand. On reverse, a poem identified as urdu language hand drawn –using Tughra technique probably–, speaks: "If you carve me, I will become a seed; I am the Raj's stone, pick me up. Sometimes we go to the tavern, we drink a little less. If the locks of hair fall like clouds, we drink this weather too. We are such boozers we don't even drink from the flask, but if it comes to our chest, we drink even the wine of knowledge. Let someone show their reflection in the tavern like me, for we don't drink in every tavern; we drink the sorrow of love too. Sometimes we reject the cupbearer, sometimes we drink the sorrow too. Anyone who hasn't seen millions, what would their intention be?" The paper shows traces of being laced and fine with sparse marks and scrapings everywhere. No doubt looking through a thread counter everything is hand made. Fine lines suggests fine brushes; big attention to details; good stroke of a talented artist. The piece was acquired on a second hand Christmas Market on past December inside a wooden frame with old gold leaf.
