Afrasiyab’s Night Attack on Kay Khusraw | Restored Persian Miniature

Afrasiyab’s Night Attack on Kay Khusraw — from the Shahnama of 1493–94 known as the "Big Head" Shahnameh.

The romance of Khusraw and Shirin, with the sculptor Farhad as tragic rival, is one of the five great poems of Nizami’s Khamsa.

This folio comes from a distinctive Shahnama completed in 1493–94, known to scholars as the "Big Head" Shahnameh for the boldly oversized figures that give its paintings an almost sculptural presence.

Carefully restored from a high-resolution archival image and printed as a museum-quality matted framed poster on enhanced matte art paper, or as a fine art paper print. Each piece is produced to order.
