Notes	Panjang (Five Treasures) is a collection of five poems written by the Persian poet Abd al-Rahman Jami (died 1492). The manuscript was produced in Iran, but it was not completed until it was finished in India, and it came into the possession of Abd al-Rahim, the commander-in-chief of the Mongol army for both Akbar and Janjir. The special shape in which the text was arranged gave three triangular spaces on each page. Abd al-Rahim's artists completed the decoration of the manuscript by filling in these spaces with animals and birds (many examples from multiple pages are included here). They added bold margins to each page and added a plaque on the last page bearing the publisher's symbol for the manuscript.
