| Not | Rustam shoots Shaghad from the spiked pit, from the Book of Kings (Shahnama) by Firdausi. Fatally trapped with his champion horse Rakhsh in a pit of poisoned spikes, Rustam shoots an arrow at his betrayer Shaghad, piercing a tree trunk to kill him. This is one of ten folios detached from its codex (also in the Chester Beatty collection, Per 270), the second volume in a two-volume set of this text, illustrated by the Isfahan painter Mu`in Musavvir. Volume one is in the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto (Ms22): its colophon is dated Jumada II 1064H (April 1654), with four of its paintings dated 1065H or 1067H (1654-1657). Folio, ink, colours and gold on paper, Persian text in nasta`liq script, with rubric ("Rustam pins Shaqad to a tree with an arrow", in white) and painting (on recto), from the Book of Kings (Shahnama) by Firdausi (codex CB Per 270), painting signed Mu'in Musavvir, Isfahan, Iran, 1655. |
