EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of ancient royalty and falconry in the Abbasid period. The image showcases a fragment featuring an equestrian falconer king, believed to be from Iran or Iraq. The intricate lampas weave on silk fabric adds depth and richness to this historical piece. The focal point of the artwork is undoubtedly the majestic bird of prey perched on the gloved hand of the royal figure. This symbolizes both power and elegance, as falconry was considered a prestigious sport during that time. The regal attire worn by the king further emphasizes his status as a ruler. Mounted on horseback, this monarch exudes confidence and authority while engaging in his favorite pastime - hunting with his loyal companion, the falcon. The patterned cloth draped over his horse adds an element of opulence to this scene. This artifact not only represents Islamic culture but also highlights its connection with nature through horses and wildlife. It serves as a reminder of how animals played a significant role in daily life during those times. Preserved at Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio, USA, this remarkable piece has been acquired through J. H Wade Fund for public admiration. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers even today, evoking curiosity about ancient civilizations and their rich traditions.
