The figure is identified as female by the subtle curve of her chest, the tresses of hair that fall from her turban, and the nose ring. The black plume tucked into her turban denotes her status. Rajput queens and princesses were trained to be skilled hunters and archers. Here, the queen is enjoying the courtly pastime of the royal hunt. A large artificial pool occupies the right of the image, suggesting that the hunt takes place on enclosed grounds. Rajput Style, Kota School.
