A LARGE PANEL WITH A BATTLE SCENE FOLLOWED BY POETRY FROM SHAHNAME,
A grand vertical panel portraying a dynamic battlefield scene, teeming with vibrant action as mounted soldiers engage in intense combat with swords, spears and arrows, the depiction of the horses, with colourful headgear and caparisons, adding a heightened sense of liveliness, positioned between poetry verses at the top and bottom, the central illustration flanked by four columns of text, separated by intercolumnal lines and complemented by marginal notes enclosed in boxes, the text framed by gilt and polychrome lines, a broad margin surrounding the artwork adorned with scrolling foliage in a soft yellow hue, effectively accentuating the prominence of the battlefield scene, further enhancing the visual appeal, additional gilt and polychrome lines surrounding the marginal decoration, culminating in a narrow band of floral motifs in gilt along the paper’s edge
