Description
A medieval Islamic manuscript illustration depicts the legendary figure Iskandar commanding armies and craftsmen to construct a massive defensive wall against the mythical forces of Gog and Magog, with the composition divided into registers showing the ruler enthroned above and the frantic labor of workers below. Rendered in jewel-toned reds, blues, golds, and earth tones with intricate detail throughout, the painting radiates the ornamental richness and narrative complexity characteristic of Persian manuscript illumination. Made to order on soft fabric, artwork on the front and white on the back, sized to layer with your bedding. Art that finishes the bed rather than filling it.
