Description

This reproduction follows “"Zal Expounds the Mysteries of the Magi", Folio 87v from the Shahnama (Book of Kings) of Shah Tahmasp”, dated ca. 1525 and held by Metropolitan Museum of Art. The source credits the maker as Painting attributed to Qadimi; Painting attributed to 'Abd al-'Aziz.

The museum attributes this separate folio to Qadimi and Abd al-Aziz. It interprets a pre-Islamic epic world within a sixteenth-century Muslim court manuscript, rather than copying a Zoroastrian sacred book.
