A Conversation for Pictures: Asia

Topless?

Greetings!
The picture of the man holding the koh-i-noor is a little anachronistic. While his headgear and style of posing, as well as the presence of the koh-i-noor itself suggests that he is a Mughal (Mogul). But they clothed their upper body at all public occasions and would never be portrayed bear-chested. His bear-chested-ness suggests that he is either a south Indian Hindu ruler of the same period as the Mughals or a hindu ruler of ancient India; either case wouldn't fit with the koh-i-noor or his head dress.
What I'm basically trying to say is, give the guy a shirt.
