Pishraw Khan was a ghulam of Shah Tahmasp (r. 1524-76) presented to the Mughal Emperor Humayun (r. 1530-40, 1555-6) during his exile in Iran. During the reign of Akbar (r. 1556-1605), he rose through the ranks and became supervisor and foreman of the imperial carpet department. He remained an honoured figure at the Mughal court until his death at the age of ninety (Wheeler Thackston, The Jahangirnama: Memoirs of Jahangir, Emperor of India, Washington D.C., 1999, pp. 48, 97). A portrait of Pishraw Khan is included in an album of Mughal portraits in the Royal Collection (acc. no. RCW1005038).
