The Prince of Wales observed the Trichinopoly illuminations and fireworks from a pavilion and was amazed by the sight. He urged Sydney Prior Hall to capture the scene in a drawing, but none is in the collection. However a small watercolour by an unknown hand capturing the scene can be found in this address. The body of the gold scroll case is masterfully worked in repoussé showing Hindu deities such as Ganesh, Shiva, Krishna, and Saraswati.
