Iskandar explored the Western regions and at the edge of the world encountered a shore where there were many coloured stones, blue, red, yellow and black, each weighing about five to ten pou Highlights from the Mughal Emperor Akbar's personal copy of an illustrated manuscript of Nizami's Iskandernameh or Life of Alexander The Great.
These are fantastically beautiful. Even the borders are wonderful.
