This book studies inlay art that developed in Mughal architecture indigenously, from Humayun to Shah Jahan (c.1535 to 1658 AD). Mughal inlay art is architectural, and to brand it 'pietra-dura' which was a Floretine art used on wooden furniture, is a misnomer. This book also reveals that 'Orpheus plaques' which led the colonial historians to Florence to trace the origins of Mughal inlay, were imported ready-made, and there is no other example of Florentine pietra-dura.
