The hand-coloured engraving portrays the legendary Persian King Kai Kawus, seated regally on a magnificent throne that defies gravity. What makes this scene truly extraordinary is the mode of transportation - four majestic eagles soaring through the air, effortlessly pulling the king's airborne chariot.

As we gaze at King Kai Kawus being carried aloft by these noble birds, we are reminded of humanity's relentless pursuit of innovation throughout history.
