This is a huge set from Schultz Donner showing the court of the Grand Mogul honoring him for his birthday
There are dozens of figures and it is a very colorful set inspired by a master work of jewellry of the early XVIII° century
I join a copy of the catalog

Here is the first figure of the set : one of the gifts offered to the Mogul by his vassal Chani Alem, people prince, a grey hunt elephant with its crew

The next figure will be a white elephant offered by an aother vassal, Mir Miron, lord of the lords

The engraving and casting are good enough to make painting a real pleasure
There is a book about this work of art : "At the grand mogul court", Leipzig edition, byJoachim Menzhausen (text) and Klaus G Beyer (pictures)
