Date Description Source Reference
1592 A.D. Six bell tents and three pavilions. 

The Sultan is probably seated under a seventh bell tent but the details are hidden. 

Most of the tents have scalloped valances, their roof and wall panels are defined, two of the bell tents have upturned crescents on their apexes.
