About this work
Representation in two parts. Left the birth celebration of Mongolia. In a tent the ruler of Mongolia is weighed. As counterweight bags of money are placed down. Nobles look on. In the foreground the English ambassador Thomas Roe receives a dish with gold. The right representation shows a diamond mine. Priests kneel before an image. With a legend in French and Dutch. The print is part of an album.
