Shah Jahan holding a spinel and a long Deccan sword, from the Late Shah Jahan Album

The image features a man in ornate attire standing on a hill with flowers and grass in a large gold-framed painting. He wears a white and gold robe over a long white garment with flower designs; a colorful turban and a necklace; and red shoes. The man holds a spinel in his right hand and a long sword in his left. A gold halo surrounds his head. The frame around the central image is gold with a floral pattern and red trim. The border around the frame depicts people in traditional garb, some lounging animals and winged people on clouds holding a crown. The border background resembles parchment or aged paper with scattered gold flowers. The blue background behind the main subject fades into gold at the top.
