Evidence
"Fig. 5: A Royal Picnic, from a manuscript of Intikhāb-i Hadĩqa... ca. 1575, Iran, opaque watercolor, gold and silver on paper."
Remarks
Illustration from a manuscript reworking of Sana’i Ghaznavi’s work by Farid al-Din ‘Attar (d. ca. 1230). The painting is notable for showing a chef preparing food with specific tools like a 'kafgir' (tinned-copper skimmer) and a wooden tasting spoon (p. 147).
