Delphine & Natty's opinion

Superb gold and mother-of-pearl notebook dating from the end of the 19th century, representing Mumtaz Mahal (1593-1631).
Mumtaz Mahal means "The Jewel of the Palace," an affectionate nickname given to her by her husband, the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan.
In tribute to his wife, who died young, Emperor Shah Jahan had the Taj Mahal mausoleum built in Agra.
