Single Leaf of an Elephant with Mahout Attacking Four Men, late 10th century AH/AD 16th century. Depictions of elephants became increasingly common in the Mughal period. Stylistically this example may be attributed to sometime in the late 10th century AH/AD 16th, although the Persian inscription on the page states that it was completed in Bukhara on the last day of Safar 731 AH/AD 1330.
