This black slab of stone was the throne of Jahangir (It would have been covered with cushions when it was actually in use). It was made in 1602 in Allahabad, where Jahangir (The Then Prince Salim) served as governor. When He became King in 1605, Jahangir had the throne brought to the Red Fort in Agra, where it still stands, although the palace that covered it no longer exists.

Persian lettering is accented and decorated by the floral motifs. The decoration around the side is actually an inscription in which Prince Salim referred to himself as the “Shah” and “Sultan”.
