Story of Piran Convincing Siyavush to Take Farangis as his Wife (text, recto and verso), folio from a manuscript of the Shahnama by Firdawsi

Estranged from his father (Kay Kavus), Prince Siyavush temporarily enjoyed the hospitality of the Turanian ruler Afrasiyab. At the urging of the Turanian commander-in-chief Piran, Siyavush asked for the hand of the king's daughter. Despite Afrasiyab's misgivings, he agreed to give the beautiful princess Farangis to Siyavush. In this painting, Farangis is receiving lavish wedding presents from Gulshahr, Piran's wife. The crowned man seated on a throne may be Afrasiyab.
