Queen of Sheba Enthroned (Süleymannāma)

The composition is divided into tiers: the upper tier features the Queen seated cross-legged on a raised dais within an arched structure, flanked by winged angels with halos. The middle tier displays the Queen's court, where male courtiers in colorful robes stand in profile. The bottom tier depicts a horizontal procession of eleven grotesque, anthropomorphic demons with varied animalistic heads, including bull-like, lupine, and simian features, many with tails, standing in a field of red floral patterns. A sun with a human face shines from the upper left corner of the blue sky above the pavilion.

This illumination is a critical visual component of the 'Süleymannāma' (Book of Solomon) by Firdausi of Bursa, reflecting Islamic narratives surrounding King Solomon's mastery over both human kingdoms and the Jinn (demons). It illustrates the tradition of the 'Suleyman-name' which synthesized Quranic lore, Biblical motifs, and Persian epic storytelling regarding the occult powers attributed to Solomon.
