Kay Ka'us in his flying-machine
Kay Ka'us in his flying-machine outside his palace, surrounded by admiring spectators. The birds resemble cranes more than anything else. The face of the King has been obliterated, as is usual in this subject, and the outer edge is a bit rubbed. 25 by 19 cm. Image taken from Shahnama of Firdawsi, with 39 miniatures. Opaque watercolour. Safavid/Isfahan style. Originally published/produced in 1614
