Equestrian Portrait of a Kota Prince
View through Harvard Museums
The drawing depicts a young Kota prince mounted on a horse. His royal status is denoted by the large plume in his turban. Due to the lack of facial hair, which is traditionally worn by Kota rulers, the figure is most likely a prince. He carries a variety of weapons and armor: a shield against his back, a punch-dagger (katar) tucked in his waist sash (patka), a quiver full of arrows, and a sword that peeks out from behind the quiver. Rajput Style, Kota School.
