About the piece Scroll ↓

A winged peri — an angelic spirit of Persian legend — rides a fantastical composite camel formed entirely of intertwined animals and figures. Probably painted in the Deccan around 1700, the image belongs to a delightful tradition of 'composite' beasts that tested a painter's wit and invention.

These puzzle-like creatures, beloved across Mughal and Deccani painting, reward close looking as each hidden animal emerges from the whole.
