The only other notable Indo-Muhammadan artistic gem which has come to my notice is the beautiful sardonyx cameo of the Mughal period, bought by Mr. Marshall some years ago and now in the Lahore Museum, which is 3·6 inches broad and 3·3 high. It represents two elephants with riders, locking their tusks and trunks together apparently in combat.⁴ Others may exist in the Pearse collection recently acquired by the Government of India, which is now under examination and not yet available for reference.
