Summary

Description
English: Wine Cup, made 1657, V&A Museum no. IS.12-1962
This unique wine cup of white nephrite jade was made for the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (r. 1628-1658) and is inscribed with his title, Second Lord of the Conjunction, following the conventions of royal titulature in the Persian-speaking world, and specifically alluding to Timur, the Central Asian ruler from whom the Mughals were descended. It is also dated 1067 of the Islamic calendar, and regnal year 31, which convert to 1657. The cup was originally in the collection of Colonel Charles Seton Guthrie, who had a renowned collection of Mughal hardstones and died in 1875, but was acquired by the museum in 1962.
