In order to falsely implicate her husband, Hamnaz places a knife by his side and lets the blood dripping from her nose stain his clothes, from a Tuti-nama (Tales of a Parrot): Twenty-fifth Night
A colorful illustrated scene from a manuscript. The scene shows a man and woman on a bed, inside a room. The bed has a short platform with white decorative posts at each corner. A woman wearing a purple sari and orange shirt with gold bangles on both wrists, sits beside a man, wiping his face with a cloth. The man lies on his back with his head on a pillow. He wears a blue shirt with billowy sleeves. A knife with a blood-stained blade lies on the floor beside the bed. The woman's nose appears to be bleeding; blood drips from her nose onto the man's clothes. The room has green walls, a patterned rug on the floor, a red and white border and a small hanging light fixture. The image has a border with intricate geometric designs, and there is text written in a foreign language at the top.
