Ingredients
Indian lac
Evidence
"we found that the colour samples of manuscript Persian 9 and 933 are actually Indian lac and not cochineal."
Remarks
Samples previously identified as cochineal by FORS/FOMF were corrected to Indian lac after SERS/HPLC-MS analysis (p. 296). Indian lac is one of the few materials imported to Persia, along with cochineal (p. 300).
