Conservators have used a technique of nondestructive elemental mapping on select images from this album, like that of Ragini Diskar, to identify inorganic colorants and establish their dating. The results have revealed the presence of lead in the white pigments and mercury in the red, the latter suggesting the use of cinnabar or vermilion. The findings have also shown that the artists employed iron oxide in the browns and oranges, shell gold, and copper-based greens like malachite. These pigments are consistent with materials available in South Asia between the seventeenth and nineteenth century, confirming the estimated dating of the album to the eighteenth century. However, further examination of the organic pigments may make it possible to narrow the date range.
