This miniature is wooden marquetry framed. On the painting there are five polo players in front of temples.
The Persian-style wooden frame is made of a mini-mosaic. Such watercolor paintings have their origins in the Persian Timurid Dynasty (1369-1500). The style was created in Suratgarh, a city and a municipality in Ganganagar district in the Indian state of Rajasthan.
Suratgari miniatures were traditionally painted on thin bone panels.
