Babur receives booty and Humayuns salute after the victory over Sultan Ibrahim
Babur receives booty and Humayuns salute after the victory over Sultan Ibrahim in 1526, from an Akbar-nama (Book of Akbar) of Abu l Fazl (Indian, 1551-1602), c. 1596-1597 or 1604. The elegant figure of Babur wearing a pale yellow coat is shown seated on his newly won throne in Delhi just after the decisive battle against the Afghans in 1526. He looks directly at his son Humayun, who salutes him, having secured for the first Mughal emperor the allegiance and territories of a Hindu king to the south. Among the tribute presented to Babur on this occasion was the 793-carat Koh-i-Noor diamond, now recut and set in Queen Elizabeth IIs crown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the victorious Babur receiving his well-deserved booty and the salute of his son Humayun. The scene takes place in Delhi, shortly after Babur's decisive triumph over Sultan Ibrahim and his Afghan forces in 1526. Babur, portrayed as an elegant figure adorned in a pale yellow coat, sits proudly on his newly acquired throne. His gaze is fixed upon his son Humayun, who stands before him with utmost respect and admiration. It was Humayun's efforts that secured the allegiance and territories of a Hindu king to the south, expanding the Mughal empire under its first emperor. Amongst the treasures presented to Babur on this momentous occasion was none other than the legendary Koh-i-Noor diamond. This magnificent gemstone weighed an astonishing 793 carats at that time and has since been recut and set into Queen Elizabeth II's crown. The artwork itself is a masterpiece created by Abu l Fazl for Emperor Akbar during either 1596-1597 or 1604. Painted with opaque watercolors on paper, it showcases intricate details and vibrant colors typical of Mughal court paintings. Preserved by The Cleveland Museum of Art, this album page is mounted with borders of gold-decorated cream paper. Its historical significance lies not only in documenting Babur's victory but also in capturing an important chapter in Indian heritage.
