Battle scene from the Baburnamah
Abstract
This single leaf of a battle scene comes from an illustrated BÄburnÄmah (Memoirs of Babur) executed in Mughal India during the late tenth century AH / sixteenth CE. The text, written in black nastaÊ¿lÄ«q script, comes from a description of the events of the year 901 AH / 1495-6 CE. It describes how Sayyidim, QulÄ« BÄbÄ, and several warriors were unhorsed in battle and how news of their fate reached Sultan Ḥusayn MÄ«rzÄ (d. 911 AH / 1506 CE). The polychrome borders surrounding this page date to the thirteenth century AH / nineteenth CE.
