Page from Tales of a Parrot (Tuti-nama): Eighth night: The parrot addresses Khujasta at the beginning of the eighth night, 1558-1560. On the eighth night, the parrot tells Khujasta a story-the most lavishly illustrated of all the chapters in the book-that has important parallels with the experiences of Emperor Akbar himself. The overarching tale is about a prince who maintained a vow of silence despite being imprisoned and taken to be executed on seven consecutive days. Each day, the king was convinced to stop the execution after hearing a story told by one of his seven viziers, or ministers. The adjacent paintings illustrate scenes from the overarching tale as well as the fifth vizier's story. The golden sky, purple hills, cyprus tree, and flowering branches are elements learned from Persian painting. Indian sources contributed the bolster that appears to float on the suggestively red-coloured plane of the bed.
