Add.Or.2640-2647
8 ivory miniatures of Sikh heroes (head and shoulders) mounted in a folding leather velvet-lined frame.
By a Lahore or Amritsar artist, c.1850-60.
Oval, water-colour on ivory; various sizes.
Purchased 26 October 1954, together with Add.Or.746-7, and 2409, and WD1022-1024, 1343-1344 from Mrs R. Vandeleur, great-niece of Sir Herbert Edwardes, 26 October 1954.
Note: These miniatures came from the collection of Sir Herbert Edwardes who served in the Punjab and on the North-West Frontier from 1841 to 1866. A sheet of notepaper enclosed in the mount is inscribed: ‘Suchet Sing. Tej Singh. Cheragodeen. Nawab of Bhawalpore. Fakeer Nooradeen. Runjeet Sing. Moulraj. Dost Muhommud.’ These identifications are correct except for Dina Nath, not Tej Singh, and Sher Singh, not the Nawab of Bahawalpur. Cheragodeen is presumably Faqir Chiragh al-Din, son of Faqir Aziz al-Din. The inscriptions are not in Edwardes’ handwriting and may be later attributions.
