Abyssinians played an important role in the administration of the Deccan, so it's no surprise to see portraits of high-ranking officials and rulers in albums. Art historian Mark Zebrowski suggests this is a portrait of Fath Khan, Malik Amber's son and successor. Dressed in typical Ahmadnagar style, he wears a starched turban with a jaunty flap, a robe, bound with a glorious patka, along with a sword that he leans against, a long katyar (punch dagger), and a curious purse (perhaps a writing case), hanging from his patka.

This image was made in the 17th-century, and is found in an album made for the emperor, Shah Jahan, and attributed to the Mughal artist, Hashim. Of course, the flower studies on the borders (typical of a Shah Jahan album) are gorgeous. Some of these are real, and others imagined flowers but all of them are hopelessly elegant.
