Two animals sleep on the globe under the feet of the kings. Jahangir stands on the powerful lion, and the Persian Shah stands on the docile sheep.
NCERT (2026-27): “Early Mughal Painting …Two animals sleep quietly. However, the symbolism of their depiction does not escape the viewer. The powerful lion, on which Jahangir towers, and the docile sheep, on which the Persian Shah stands, sharing a magnificent resplendent golden halo of the Sun and Moon held by two winged angels indicate of being inspired by the incoming European art motifs and imageries in the Mughal court.”
