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. Printed on smooth white card stock and made to order, artwork on the front, blank inside, envelopes included in every set. A handwritten note that arrives as an independent artist's work.
