HE figures represented are a havaldar of the Cucherry of the Nawab of Jowrah, the centre figure, and four orderlies, attendants upon the Nawab, when in cucherry. Almost all the Mussulmans of Jowrah belong to the military class, and for the most part are Pathans, who originally came from Rampoor with Ghuffoor Khan, the father of the present Nawab. They are usually called Deswanees, and have no particular distinction from other Mussulmans of the country.
