This print showcases a page from the Chingiz-nama, a book dedicated to the legendary conqueror, Chingiz Khan. The specific scene depicted is the siege of Arbela during the era of Hulagu Khan. Created by Rashid al-Din, a renowned Persian historian and statesman in 1596, this artwork offers us a glimpse into an important historical event.
