Title
Bazur, the Magician, Raises up Darkness and a Storm, Folio from a Shahnama (Book of Kings)
Object type Folio from an illustrated manuscript;
Description
During a battle between the Iranians and the Turanians, a sorcerer named Bazur (shown here in a blue cape) climbs to the top of a mountain and creates a blizzard that engulfs the Iranian forces. In the ensuing confusion, the Turanians attack, causing heavy casualties. This painting comes from a copy of the highly Persianate Shahnama that was probably made in northern India. The paintings from this book were later cut out and placed in an album with brightly colored borders.
