At the time, India was ruled by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. These rugs may have decorated one of his palaces or been used as diplomatic gifts. Each carpet is composed of fragments of much larger and longer rugs. Over the centuries, the carpets were damaged and some of the best-preserved areas were assembled to create objects to be sold to European collectors.
