1578 A.D. Two conical tents but with their tops cut off, centre pole visible only so roof internal structure is a mystery. Very similar to the tents in Humble p. 101 of Jenghis Khan’s encampment. 

The third tent could be a bell tent but only part of the tent is visible.

“Drawing of oxen ploughing, in the style of Riza-i-Abbasi. Simple subjects of this kind, as well as drawings of beautiful girls and youths, characterise the taste of the later sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.”
