It appears from a prohibition of Sultan Firuz Tughluq that the use of silver and gold plate, of golden ornamented sword-belts, quivers and cups, ewers and goblets, and of other articles the use of which the monarch considered against Islam, was fairly common among the nobility. Among other luxuries which were similarly prohibited mention is made of the pictures of men, houses and scenery which appeared on curtains, tents, and chairs. It is, moreover, made quite clear that all rich homes were furnished with many rich bedsteads, articles of bedding and all other kinds of furniture.⁵
