This image covers the panel more and the depiction looks like a war scene. Watch the artillery pieces in the middle of the photo. It is unlikely to be a drinking container. Definitely, not an apsara...

I think this is an illustration of a siege engine.

Isnt there a bigger resolution
siege engine - I'm most interested
Arabs and Turks called it manjaniqs. I would like to know what Hindus of this time (12th-15th c)called it.
From what little I can make out of this picture. There is the frame, the platform like thing at the bottom. The counterweight and the swivel arm can also be somewhat distinguished
