Islamic Indian Art: 'The Mughal Era'

There were arcades lining the two long sides of the mosque complex, with each section containing eight ceramic/mosaic panels depicting a specific era in Islamic art. I tried to photograph a representative of each set; sometimes I seem to have gotten only one, and sometimes as many as five. It’s also difficult now trying to figure out which panels belong to which era, so in some cases I have to guess.

This is the fifth of what will be at least 12 images.
