Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace

Ian, these pictures are really very interesting, and as you say every man in the pictures is an individual. Do you have any more pictures you can show?
I have an old very big painting, showing a procession with a Raja/Maharaja on an elephant escorted by men armed with mazes where the heads are lion heads, and by women armed with mazes where the heads are lilies or lotus buds, in the right corner two children, dressed in richer dresses than the others, the Raja/Maharaja’s children(?), are like floating in the air. Unfortunately I don’t know from where in India it is, but one day I will pull myself together and try to find out. I am sorry that I can’t show any pictures as the mirror effect in the glass spoils it.
