Museum of Islamic Art Plate - Dervish Approaches his Friend on the Polo Field
QR 90.00
A plate inspired by the painting "Dervish approaches his friend of the polo field", a part of the Museum of Islamic Art collection. The folio once belonged to a magnificent album made for the Mughal Emperor Jahangir (c. 1008-1027 AH/1600-1618 CE). The painting, now heavily repainted, probably illustrated a copy of the Persian poem Guy va Chaugan (Ball and Mallet), a mystical poem in which the relationship between lover and beloved is represented by the game of polo.
