The paint and text are from the first Safavid period and shows a combat in which Kay Kosro knocks down Pashang Shida, son of Afrasiyab, sovereign of Turan. The riders to the left of the scene show the emblematic Safavids’ head-dress with twelve overlapping red caps and a stick at the top, in honor of the twelve Imams of the Shiite. The scene illustrates the episode narrated in the text written in nastaliq.
