Composite Elephant early 17th century Rocks and animals that upon closer inspection reveal themselves to be composed of human and other figures are a common conceit in Islamic art. Female dancers and musicians in Indian garb have formed the legs, body, and tusks of the purple elephant here. Astride the beast are a noble figure with an elephant goad, acting as mahout; a female to the rear of him holds a cloth fan. This whimsical painting differs greatly from the detailed nature studies found in Mughal albums, the depiction of the elephant here being not the result of careful observation but rather a metaphoric representation of court pageantry..

4 of Horns, from The Cloisters Playing Cards. Culture: South Netherlandish. Dimensions: 5 3/16 × 2 3/4 in. (13.2 × 7 cm). Date: ca. 1475-80.The Cloisters set of fifty-two cards constitutes the only known complete deck of illuminated ordinary playing cards (as opposed to tarot cards) from the fifteenth century. There are four suits, each consisting of a king, queen, knave, and ten pip cards. The suit symbols, based on equipment associated with the hunt, are hunting horns, dog collars, hound tethers, and game nooses. The value of the pip cards is indicated by appropriate repetitions of the suit symbol. The figures, which appear to be based on Franco-Flemish models, were drawn in a bold, free, and engaging, if somewhat unrefined, hand. Their exaggerated and sometimes anachronistic costumes suggest a lampoon of extravagant Burgundian court fashions. Although some period card games are named, it is not known how they were played. Almost all card games did, however, involve some form of gam
