It belongs to the collection, but is not on display at present.
This painting shows a prince at a dovecot feeding the birds. It comes from a ragamala or 'garland of ragas', a series of pictorial depictions of the various musical modes. An inscription in Takri, the script used in the Punjab Hills of northern India, identifies the mode illustrated here as kuntala raga, 'son' of dipakeda raga.
