Ring

Thumb rings made of precious materials were worn by the Mughal emperor and, like turban ornaments, were emblems of royalty. Portraits of the emperors Jahangir (r. 1605-1627) and Shah Jahan (r. 1628-1658) typically depict them with additional rings suspended on silken threads from their waist sashes.
