The composition of this panel, at first sight very symmetrical and composed, turns out to be animated and joyful with a food-loving parrot and an emancipating acanthus. Birds, stylized vegetal foliage, blooming flowers: this omnipresence of the natural world skillfully reproduced in the stone recalls the passion for nature of the great Mughal rulers. All these elements put together give in fine an extremely decorative character to this large architectural panel.
