The Empress by Ruby Lal, 2018
The Astonishing Reign of Nur Jahan
Four centuries ago, a Muslim woman ruled an empire. Her legend still lives, but her story was lost—until now.
In 1611, thirty-four-year-old Nur Jahan, daughter of a Persian noble and widow of a subversive official, became the twentieth and favorite wife of the Emperor Jahangir, who ruled the vast Mughal Empire.#books

Now, it is #LunchTime and here I am, with my ordinary 'Stainless Steel' Spoon.
Today, as I concentrate more on food utensils, the more I become envious of the #Mughals
Now, this is the #Spoon on #NurJahan wife of #Mughal ruler #Jahangir
Made of Gold inlaid with Diamonds & Rubies, this c1600 AD object was in the collection of Museum of Islamic Arts #Qatar
It is believed that #MuseumOfIslamicArts have sold it off, to an unknown buyer.
