A marble container made in the city of Agra. The Taj Mahal is in
Agra and is also built of marble. Today local people carry on the tradition of using
marble and there are many shops and street sellers from whom you can buy containers like
this. Like the Taj Mahal, the designs have flowers and leaves. The Emperor who built the
Taj Mahal was a Muslim and designs on buildings always
had flowers, leaves or geometric designs. A Muslim
should not draw or recreate a human figure.
