Tomb paintings of Sindh are found mainly in the Shahdadkot tehsil of Qamber-Shahdadkot[1] in Sindh, Pakistan.
During the Kalhora period (1680–1784 AD) wall paintings became common. They often depicted folk tales, scenes from rustic life, the tribal chiefs and their battles.[2]
The Jamali tombs Larkana and Qamber-Shahdadkot, are famous for the paintings, which depict the romances of Sassui Punnhun,[3] Momal Rano, Suhni Mehar, Layla and Majnun and Noori Jam Tamachi.
