Footnotes

For a very similar Mughal cuerda seca tile, see Arthur Millner, Indian Tiles: Architectural Ceramics from Sultanate and Mughal India and Pakistan, 2021, p. 115. The tile studied by Millner also features a leopard attacking a deer, and shows one of the deer's speckled legs as well as slightly more of the deer's body. Millner suggests that his tile comes from Salimgarh Fort in Delhi and dates it to the mid-17th century.
