A history of the Deccan . Shah, who removed the capital from Gul-burga to Bieder in 1482, and build this mausoleum, uponwhich is inscribed in Persian the following couplet: — Should my heart ache, my remedy is cup of wine and then I sup of bliss. The tomb of the Minister Mahmood Gawan (Khajeh Gawan)contains a Peisian inscription signifying the unjust execution,and that without fault he became a martyr. Bieder is celebrated for the manufacture of a kind of metal-ware which is styled Bidri-work. The metal is composed ofan alloy of copper, lead, tin, and zinc. It is worked into articlesof most elegant designs, and inlaid with silver and occasionallygold. The articles manufactured consist chiefly of vases,hookahs, basins, &c. There is unfortunately not much demandnow for these elegant manufactures, and proportionately but asmall quantity is turned out. Many specimens of it havebeen sent to England, and a large number of articles weremade in 1875 for presentation to the Prince of Wales. End of part ^r()J)KKN TdMI! AT SKCCNDKK I). PART 11.
