Summary

Description
English: Detail of Babur's dynastic seal, from a Mughal land grant dating from August 1527.

Babur's name: Zaheer Uddin Mohammad Babur is written in the centre.

British Library's description:

Babur’s seal is the earliest known example of the Mughal dynastic seal, which developed under Akbar and his successors into a stylised central circle containing the ruler’s name surrounded by smaller circles containing his ancestors as far back as Timur (Tamerlane). Here Babur’s name is placed in the centre, while around the edge (right to left) are those of his paternal ancestors, each enclosed in a lobed panel: ʻUmar Shaykh, Sulṭān Abū Saʻīd, Sulṭān Muḥammad, Mīrān Shāh, and Amīr Tīmūr. The seal is dated 928 (1521/22).

Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
