This original hand colour and detailed map of India published by Mathaus Seutter, Augsburg is an example of German cartography at its best. It shows the extent of the Mughal Empire extending from Persia to Gulf of Thailand. This map shows important cities of the day, river systems, and several important trade routes including the caravan trail from Agra into Persia. The highly decorative allegorical cartouche in the lower left hand side quadrant depicts Poseidon, Hermes, an angel and the goddess Fame admiring the wealth of Asia, as represented by jewels, ivory and precious metals. In the upper left hand quadrant, child angels are going through a chests full of treasure while exotic birds look on. In the right hand lower quadrant shows a large trade ship resting in the Indian ocean.
