A large rectangular jali screen, sandstone with openwork decoration. The top of the screen has rounded edges and the openwork design is of interlocking polygons. The type of pattern carved and the absence of vegetal or floral elements suggest a date in the second half of the 16th century or early 17th century, during the reigns of Akbar or Jahangir.
