We have already seen the method of imprinting cut gold-leaf design as given by the *Silparatna*. In cheaper Mughal paintings, and specially in the miniatures of Jaipur school, instead of applying gold-powder the use of gold-leaf is preferred. The process is analogous to that mentioned in the *Silparatna*, except that the size with which the design has to be drawn possesses a little proportion of sugar in it.
