Recipe Details
Evidence
"A copy of the poems of Sultan Ahmad Jalayir probably made at Baghdad around 1403 and now in the Freer Gallery of Art (32.30-37) has eight pages with marginal drawings executed in black ink with touches of blue and gold."
Remarks
The marginal drawings represent the seven stages of the mystical journey of the birds from Attar's Mantiq al-tayr (p. 27). Blair suggests that these ink drawings represent an Islamic rendering of Chinese gold-decorated paper techniques (p. 27).
