Description: | Plate 4 from the third set of Thomas and William Daniells' 'Oriental Scenery.' This funerary monument was built for Jahangir's wife, known as the Shah Begum. She was a Rajput princess of Amber, and the mother of prince Khusrau. She killed herself in 1605, unable to bear the shame of her son's rebellion. As befits a Hindu princess, her mausoleum is a simple three-storeyed trabeate construction without arches, finely decorated by sandstone screens piereced with geometric designs. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | Daniell, Thomas | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Daniell, Thomas (1749-1840) | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
