This miniature is a late Mughal essay combining a number of archaic styles. Because the Faizabad and Lucknow Nawab Wazirs were in fact originally a Nishapuri family, similar nostalgic glances back to 17th century Iran are found of works of a similar period, for instance those of the large Clive Album. With this in mind, the creatures and some of the vegetation can be thus paralleled in what is otherwise a Mughal landscape.
