Pushfit Jigsaw poss French Akbar Crossing the Ganges In 1567 Ikhlas & Madhav 3

I didn't see the box to this puzzle, but it looks like a French push-fit to me, so I would guess Vera, Puzzle Michele Wilson or possibly Genest Le Colimacon. The subject is Akbar Crossing the Ganges In 1567, by Ikhlas & Madhev.

 

(Update: The cutter is Peter Stokes and you can see an entry for the jigsaw on Jigasaurus:

Akbar crossing the Ganges on his elephant, 1567, Painted by Ikhlas & Madhav. Several mounted elephants are guided by their riders while the horses are led by soldiers. The animals are decorated with gold chains and other jewellery. The royal elephant and the emperor are depicted larger than the rest of the group to emphasise their presence. The emperor, wearing a yellow robe, green sash and brown turban, guides his elephant with a gold goad.

 

You can see this image together with a similar miniature on this link and also at the V&A.
