dc.descriptionHalf a double-page composition (the other half showing the catapulting of Abraham into the fire by Nimrod). The significant thing about the Anthology is the uniting of the Shiraz vigour and dramatic power with the tradition of craftsmanship and grasp of the principles of perspective of the Jala'ir school of Baghdad and Tabriz. -- 9.75 x 5.875.
