Mumtaz of the Taj Mahal Paper Dolls
Of Shah Jahan's many wives, the Mogul emperor's favorite was the beautiful Mumtaz Mahal; upon her death, the Shah ordered the construction of the Taj Mahal. The life of the woman who inspired one of the world's most famous structures is recalled by this paper doll collection. Two dolls, one of the emperor and the other of Mumtaz Mahal, are accompanied by 16 costumes, including anklets, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings.
