Folio B: Folio from the "Five Treasures" (Panj Ganj) of Jami (recto), 1520-1607. Mushfiq (Indian), and others (Indian). Ink, opaque watercolor and gold on paper, double-sided with text on verso; page: 30.2 x 18.1 cm (11 7/8 x 7 1/8 in.). This page contains two different texts, one written diagonally in the border and the other in the two central columns. The section of poetry in the border describes an episode from Josephs childhood in which his older brothers suggest to Jacob, their father, that they take Joseph into the countryside so that the boy can learn the area, although they actually plan to kill him. The poem in the central columns advises the reader to smile often, as a smile is sweeter and more pleasing than sugar.
