This leather pouch was a container for an official letter or proclamation (firman) issued by a person of standing within the Mughal empire of the 18th century. It is one of a group of three acquired by the museum in 1923, and would have been lined with fine taffeta. Most of the linings have perished, but small remnants indicate that the taffeta was originally pigment-painted with trellis designs. Rectangular leather case, stamped, gilt and painted, with a fold-over flap top scalloped at the end and lined with yellow silk damask. The ground is stamped with a diamond diaper and gilt. Upon the gold is a diaper of detached fern leaves painted in dark green with slottings of red at the edges. The damask lining is patterned with a diamond trellis enclosing open diamond shapes. Firman case of leather, stamped, gilt and painted, North India, 18th century.
