Bijan killing the wild boars of Irman, from a Shah-nama (Book of Kings) of Firdausi (Persian, about 934–1020), (recto)
A page from a book with browned paper and a dark brown border. The page has five vertical columns of black, cursive writing in a language that is likely Arabic or Persian. The columns are separated by thin, gold lines. A section of red writing is at the bottom center. A piece of white tape appears to be over a crease in the paper near the top. A faded rectangular watermark covers much of the image.
