Lahore History Tour – Installment #12
Jahangir’s Quadrangle Tour continued…..When one looks at the level of craftsmanship in Jahangir’s Quadrangle, one cannot help but say “Subhan Allah” at the level of skills mastered by Mughal artisans. Much of these skills still survive today in the hands of a few dedicated artisans, however; unfortunately their numbers is quickly dwindling.
The exquisite animal shaped brackets span the whole row of porticoes along the eastern and western walls of the quadrangle.
Another view of the animal shaped brackets. Among the features are lions, elephants, and peacocks, as well as sculptured gargoyles.
