Descriptions Description Seated on a red, blue, and white striped carpet is a prince, distinguished by his earring and feather-adorned turban. He wears a long white robe (jama) with a waist sash (patka). Tucked into his sash is a punch dagger. The hilt of the katar is painted red with gold pigment over it. Small, indented dots in the paint signify the hilt’s decorative metal work. The prince leans against a large orange cushion while holding a small lotus bud in his left hand. A small falcon with a white body and gray head stands on a pink box and faces the prince. The falcon’s jess strings extend along the floor to the prince’s knees. Behind the prince is a female attendant who holds up a fly whisk, which is another symbol of royal status. On the right is a male attendant holding a scarf in his right hand, while holding ceremonial swords wrapped in pink cloth in his left, both of which signifies the prince’s status. Basohli Style.
