King Dara and the herdsman Calligraphy
Miniaturist: Unknown
Miniature from a MS. of Bustan of Sadi derived from a miniature by Bizad.
Bequeathed 1946 by P.C. Manuk and Miss G.M. Coles, through the National Art Collections Fund.
Height: 163 mm
Width: 101 mm
Relative size of this object is displayed using code inspired by Good Form and Spectacle's work on the British Museum's Waddeson Bequest website and their dimension drawer. They chose a tennis ball to represent a universally sized object, from which you could envisage the size of an object.
Method of acquisition: Bequeathed (1948) by Manuk, P. C. and Coles, G. M., Miss
Production date: circa AD 1540
This and PD.158-1948 belong to MS.262-1949, also Manuk-Coles bequest, the present one having been f.18. This MS. is a selection from the Bustan of Sa'di, dated mid-16th C.; P.C. Manuk thought the two miniatures to be most probably by Bizad.
