Description
A medieval Islamic manuscript illustration depicts Khidr, the legendary figure of immortality, distributing golden cups of water to the blessed inhabitants of Paradise gathered beneath a flourishing tree. Rendered in jewel-toned reds, golds, and blues with intricate patterning and delicate figural work, the composition layers multiple narrative moments across an ornately framed scene that radiates spiritual abundance and divine grace. In a study, library, or space devoted to cultural and religious art history. 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.
