A larger image of Jahangir weighs Prince Khurram, c.1615, Jahangir-nama, India
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.
