Badshahi Ashurkhana, West wall
In addition to the Middle-Eastern hues of blue and white, typically Indian colours like mustard-yellow and brown are used in this panel making it more vibrant. The inner rectangle below contains three decorated hexagons within a cusped arch. The spandrels of both the inner and outer arches have verse-filled medallions surrounded by arabesque swirls. A flaming alam is positioned above the apex of the outer recessed arch. A wide rectangular frame surrounds the composition. This frame contains five panels connected by medallions. A single row of large calligraphy is contained in the panel above the arch.
