Not on view
O heroico rei Tahmuras, que aparece aqui galopando em um prado, derrotou os divs (demônios), que, para salvarem suas vidas, lhe ensinaram a arte de escrever. Este fólio de um Shahnama (Livro dos Reis) é atribuído ao sultão Muhammad, membro da primeira geração de artistas desta história ilustrada dos antigos reis do Irã, a partir de suas origens míticas até a conquista árabe em 651. O humor com que representam os rostos medonhos dos divs e o tratamento pictórico de sua pele manchada são típicos do estilo do sultão Muhammad. Certos detalhes, como as nuvens em forma de cometas e o tamanho reduzido das figuras, revelam as raízes turcomanas do artista. As formas animais ocultas nas rochas, outra característica das pinturas do sultão Muhammad, evocam o mundo dos espíritos.
