A richly decorated scene depicts the Angel of Death striking down the figure of Shaddad within an ornate architectural setting, rendered in the intricate Persian manuscript tradition with jewel-toned patterning, gold leaf detailing, and layered compositions that blend narrative drama with decorative precision. The composition layers multiple moments and figures across a ground of deep greens, reds, and blues, creating a densely populated tableau where architectural elements, celestial details, and human figures coexist in flattened perspective. At home in a study, library, or space devoted to world history and classical literature. Made to order by hand at our own Denver facility, it arrives as nine wood panels, each a half-inch thick with a keyhole on the back so it hangs easily. The natural grain shows through the artwork, so no two come out exactly alike.
