A young man grips the feet of an enormous technicolour simurgh flying above choppy waters filled with giant turtles, fish and a crocodile which looks like a makara, the mythical sea creature with magic powers. This painting may depict the story by Bahram Gur’s Indian princess wife in the Haft Paykar of the Persian poet, Nizami. King Bahram Gur had seven wives who told him tales from their separate, coloured pavilions each day of the week. In the Indian princess’s story, the hero is dramatically rescued by holding onto the feet of a simurgh who brings him to a paradise-like land.
