http://manuscripts.thewalters.org/viewer.php?id=W.596#page/74/mode/2up

Babur would be contemporaries with Bayinnaung in Burma (Hanthawaddy) and Narasuan in Siam (Ayuthia)

16th century

and Akbar? with Bagan?  11th century--this does not sound right.

Still, Moghuls had paper and paints and court artists.
